Description: | Copper alloy, Iron and (possibly) enamelWeight, as identified by finder; an alternative interpretation as a game piece might also be entertained. Cast flat-ended cylinder, bearing possibly enamelled inlay of two panels, each comprising a single line border and a saltire. The putative inlay appears green, while the rest of the object is dark brown. A further green patch on one end, presumably the top, may represent further decoration, possibly in the shape of an eight-pointed star. Rust spots on opposite sides may show the expansion of a corroding iron core sheathed in copper alloy; the base is dark and possibly exposed iron. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 800-1000. Height: 15.5mm, Diameter: 10.8mm, Weight: 10.72gms.
