Description: | Copper alloy decorative object, possibly a fitting. There is a long arm with a cruciform terminal, the top part of which is missing. In the centre of the cross is another incised cross with expanded arms. Below this is a more circular in section thickened area between two waisted areas. This is above a moulded ring above another waisted area before joining a horizontal bar in an almost spherical join. Here there is a spike protruding for 15mm from one side and bent upwards. The arms are faceted and terminate in downward curves. One side is missing but the other has a further upward curving terminal branching out from its lower end. At the top of the cruciform terminal is a break with an area of white metal below it, possibly a soldered repair.
