Description: | A cast copper alloy object, possibly a harness fitting or pendant. It is formed from a rectangular section of copper alloy, which has a domed front and a concave reverse. Extending up from this is the twin attachment lug. They are set at a 90 degree angle to the plan of the main body of the object and would have had an iron pin between the two. The front of the object is decorated with raised moulded decoration. This is largely in the form of upwards pointing chevrons. The bottom terminal is broken and expands into a ring, now broken. The ring appears to have been part of a much larger fitting, but due to the break it is not possible to say what the purpose was. The surviving ring portions are decorated with raised lines. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour.
