Description: | Unidentified copper alloy fragment measuring 32x16x4mm and weighing 3.92g. The surface is very corroded.It has a roughly oval frame (21x15mm) within which is an open work cross shape. The long bar is wider (5mm) than the shorter, narrower (2mm) cross bar, which is slightly curving. The short ends of the oval are broken, but it is clear that the object continued in some way. In profile it slightly curves along the length of the oval. The cross resembles a very stylised fleur de lis or a crude crucifix. Nick Griffiths suggests that it is perhaps a medieval pilgrim badge, although more likely, that it is a Post-Medieval/modern decorative casting.(nb. the white on the photograph is the residue from blue-tack)
