Description: | Small gold appliqué decorated with curvilinear filigree wire. The plaque comprises a thin piece of sheet gold forming an extended rectangle in two decorative 'halves', with each of the shortest sides cut to form a 'V' shape. There is a small circular perforation at each corner, as well as an additional perforation below one of the corner perforations; other holes appear to be wear and tear. The appliqué is decorated with fine applied filigree wire, which forms a continuous border around the whole outer edge (although it is broken and missing in a few places). The inner part of the design is divided into triangular cells by straight runs of wire, inside which are further wire spirals and twists to form curvilinear patterns. The back of the object is plain, presumably because it was not intended to be seen.
