Description: | Fragment of an unidentified object., probably dating to the eight or ninth century. The object is a flat rectangular strip of copper alloy decorated on one side only. Along the centre of the mount is a long slender rib of open vine scroll. A scroll-shaped rib decorates the strip to either side of the central rib. A degraded white-coloured substance, probably niello, remains in the recesses around the scroll elements.
