Description: | A copper-alloy chatelaine with attached portion of the chain.At either end of the chatelaine is a chain attachment consisting of a line of three and four perforated lobes, respectively. The width of the chatelaine decreases towards the end with fewer perforations, the surface segmented by transverse grooves and ridges. The four-holed attachment has a damaged top corner and a toothed upper edge. A pair of wire loops are attached via two of the holes within the shorter attachment plate. The surfaces of the artefact have been tinned or silvered. It measures 23.7mm long, 18.2mm wide and 3.2mm thick. The weight is 3.35g.The dating of these chatelaines is by no means certain. Two parallels are illustrated by West, in his Corpus of Anglo-Saxon material from Suffolk (1998: fig. 22, nos. 19 and 20). Parallels on the PAS database include BH-0FA375, SUR-B1FC42, SUR-EA7CA1 and BUC-D65BC0.
