The lower hemisphere has a thin, rectangular aperture which is expanded into circular terminals on the underside. There are two holes in the upper hemisphere (either side of the attachment point of the loop). Both are sub circular and are f differing sizes. At the top is a long, rectangular framed suspension loop. The aperture of the loop is arched. There are faint traces of line decoration on the lower hemisphere. It is indistinct, but seems to comprise radiating lines from the edges of the aperture upwards and a possible T or hammer at one edge.Date: Early post medieval- c. 1600 - 1700Dimensions: 38.96 mm x 28.25 mm x 27.81 mmWeight: 23.46 g
