Description: | Fragment of an unidentified cast copper alloy object. The fragment is a thin piece of metal, slightly domed, which appears to be from an item with regular circular cut outs. The piece has old breaks across the solid bits between the circle. It is 32.0mm long, 21.8mm wide, a minimum of 1.9 and a maximum of 2.9mm thick and weighs 5.50 grams.The way it has broken has left a shape in some ways reminiscent of an animal however the 'head' and 'legs' each clearly end in old, irregular breaks. An indent near the end of one of the sections emphasises this efect as it looks like an eye but it is an irregularly shaped indent probably relating to breaking rather than a deliberately punched dot or other shape.
