Description: | A copper alloy rectangular pendant, 20.5mm long and 22.4mm wide. It is possibly medieval. A sub-circular arrangement of raised lines and circles in the centre of the front of the pendant indicates some decoration, which may depict a figure with outstretched arms and legs, although no particular design can now be identified. There is also a pair of narrow raised parallel lines along the right-hand edge of the front of the pendant. The reverse of the pendant is undecorated and the pendant is slightly flattened in the centre and thicker around the edges, with a maximum thickness of 6.2mm. The sides of the pendant are rectangular, with curved ends. There is a slight ridge along the top of the pendant. The pendant has two loops on the top, c2mm apart, which lean slightly towards each other and each have a circular hole which runs from side to side. The pendant is a mottled dark green-brown. This object seems to be hollow and may be a reliquary, though no close parallel has been found.
