Description: | Possible early medieval cast copper alloy brooch or mount. The upper surface has a central empty circular setting surrounded by a lozenge. There are four recessed sub-triangular surrounds which have cast interlace. One terminal has a semi-circular overlap with the flat edge being the terminal, although this appears to be worn. The overlap creates an oval which is filled with interlace. The opposing terminal has two projecting lugs and on the reverse is a semi-circular lug running horizontally between the two with traces of iron corrosion. It has a dark green patina with some lighter green patches of corrosion. There are worn breaks on the underside on each long edge possibly from a strap loop, and there is also a possible "scar" from a broken projection on the underside of the semi-circular terminal.Length: 47.63mm, Width: 21.05mm, Thickness: 5.31mm, Weight: 20.2g
