Description: | A copper-alloy object made from cut metal, probably a Medieval balance pan, circa AD1200-1500. An alternative identification has been put forward suggesting it is a possible decorative spangle of Anglo-Saxon date . The object is incomplete but was originally sub-triangular in shape. It is now missing a corner. Each of the remaining two corners are pierced for attachment or suspension and the remains of a further perforation are visible at the edge of the break. The object has small punched circular decoration on one side which appears to be irregular and not representative of anything in particular. A comparable complete balance pan is recorded on the database under reference NMS-650A57. The object measures 25.02 mm long, 30.74 mm wide, 0.92 mm thick and weighs 2.2 grams.
