The object is consists of two sub-rectangular parallel plates, which have a wide gap between them and are joined by four small circular copper-alloy rivets, one on each corner. One plate is decorated with the incised design of a four-petalled flower head within a double border. The opposite plate also has the incised border, but only one of the petals. This side also has a black surface, which may be a corroded tinning or silvering, plus traces of a white solder or corrosion product.
The piece measures 20.6mm long by 17.3mm wide and 3.7mm thick. It weighs 5.74g. | 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: | 1200
