Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment from an unidentified object. The object consists of a flat trapezoidal plate. The bottom edge is slightly curved with rounded corners. Attached to the top edge is a shallow, concave plate which is semi-circular in shape. This is positioned at right angles to the plate, therefore the object is L-shaped in section. It is cast in one piece. The trapezoidal plate is decorated with an incised design in the Celtic style, of two wide, voided tendrils which appear in mirror image to each other. These are flanked on all sides by areas of incised dots. The style of decoration suggests an Iron Age date for the object.The object is slightly worn, with much of the original surface remaining, which has a mid yellowish-green patina. The edges of the object are well worn.
