Description: | Small fragment of a cast copper alloy item. The fragment is roughly trapezoid: it has one complete long side, two broken sides with old breaks leading from it and tapering towards the final short side which is probably broken but could be complete. One of the corners on the short side (opposite the long complete side) is missing. Near the short side there are two incomplete circular rivet or sewing holes. The front has moulded raised decoration in the form of curling tendrils. It is slightly curved with the long complete edge raised in the centre. It is also thicker by the complete edge, thinning towards the holes. It is 13.9mm wide, 13.1mm wide, 3.0mm thick and weighs 1.92 grams.Such a small fragment is hard to relate to a larger object. The style of decoration may however suggest an 11th century date.
