Description: | Copper alloy with inlayMount. Cast flat-backed lobed or elongated quatrefoil mount with a rivet hole of diameter 2mm at either end, and filled rivet holes in lobes at either side. The lobes are bordered by convergent lines of grey coloured inlay; the finder suggests these may be enamel, but they may equally represent silver strips. The dull brown finish of the object is a common feature of Viking Age metalwork from the area, and the finder suggests an 11th-century date, which appears apt. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 900-1100.Length: 29.9mm, Width: 15.6mm, Thickness: 2.3mm, Weight: 3.56gms.
