Description: | Incomplete Middle-Late Anglo Saxon unidentified object in a rather battered condition, perhaps a spatula, a medical implement or cosmetic implement. One end is broken and in the form of a rod or pin with a slightly flattened reverse, rounded sides and slight median arris on the front. The arris ends abruptly as the rod broadens, flattens and thins towards a rounded terminal. The length of the object is 52mm. The width/thickness at the broken end is 6mm. The maximum width is 14mm and minimum thickness is 3mm. Comparable with an object of similar form, but with elaborate stamped and engraved decoration, from Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk. The object possibly dates from the 8th-10th century.
