Description: | Copper alloy, high tin content, with trace of gildingPossible Brooch fragment, as identified by finder. Cast oval plate with traces of a moulded border enclosing curvilinear, possibly zoomorphic features. A single lunate spot of gilding remains on the display face. The back is entirely plain without any trace of fastening gear, so this object may have formed an appliqué to further elements. An oval perforation is probably damage rather than part of any motif. Suggested date: Possibly Early Medieval, 900-1000.Length: 28.0mm, Width: 24.1mm, Thickness: 1.7mm, Weight: 3.55gms.
