Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy object decorated with a palmette based design executed in deeply cut (2.4mm) champlevé enamel, only red can be identified with certainty although it is likely that other colours were present. The fragment has no surviving original edges, being broken on all sides, but the decorated panel appears to have been circular, the remains of two palmettes survive both of which are set within enamelled fields and contain a small panel of enamel. Although little survives the object was gracefully shaped, the enamelled panel surrounded by a moulding linked to the main part of the object by a change in profile marked by a deeply cut, angled line. At 90 degrees to the enamelled panel, is a double moulding that may have surrounded a socket. The interior of the object is very roughly cast and was clearly not meant to be seen.
