Description: | A triangular-shaped fragment of a cast copper alloy Type 2 cheek piece, dating to the late Early Medieval period (c. 1020-1100 AD). Type 2 cheek pieces are characterised by their long projection and ball end similar to KENT-6AD813, KENT-59B810 and SUSS-C989B3. The fragment is very worn and the metal is reddish-brown in colour. For further related examples cf. Williams (FRG Datasheet 39), which supports the suggested date above.
