Description: | Circular openwork object, 26 to 27 mm in diameter, with slightly uneven openwork three-armed decoration. Around the circumference are three bosses, and the centre is filled with three long drop-shaped perforations. The narrower end of each perforation fits between a boss and the wider end of the neighbouring perforation, and extends to the edge of the mount as a groove. The reverse has a broken-off circular stub in the centre measuring 3 mm. It also has some decoration; the grooves are repeated, and there are low bumps on the reverse of the bosses. The presence of these features may mean that the object was intended to be visible from both faces, although the bossed face appears to be the outer, upper or primary face. The object is 6 mm thick across the bosses, and the broken-off stub brings the total thickness to 10 mm. The metal is quite corroded with some large deep pits, especially on the upper surface. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -800
