Description: | Tiny piece of sheet metal, 9.5mm long by 9.5mm wide,thickness 0.5mm. The object has two complete rivet holes 2.5mm apart of diameter 1mm, in one of which a rivet of 1mm gauge and 3mm length remains. The metal is tinned on one side and ornamented on the other. The ornament consists of an incised or stamped circle. One edge of the metal is irregular, the result of being broken through three rivet-holes which now appear as incomplete perforations as on a postage stamp torn from its sheet. Clearly the circle enclosed five holes, in a cross formation, one at the centre, one left and right, one above and below. The metal has broken laterally across such a row of three. Its use is unknown, but at this site it may be Anglo-Saxon or medieval. | 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: | 700
