Description: | An unidentified copper alloy artefact, probably of post medieval date. It consists of a circular disc, perforated in the centre by a small, round hole. The disc is slightly concave and is decorated on both sides with identical designs. The decoration consists of a small, central floral design with sixteen short petals and eight panels formed by lines radiating out from the central hub. Each line has a triangular collar at the outer end before splitting into a forked terminal. In the centre of the outer edge of each panel is a V shape with its apex pointing towards the centre and terminating in three lobes. Beneath each of these V shapes is an openwork trefoil. The artefact is 42.5mm in diameter and 6mm thick. It weighs 20.31gm.Other examples of this object can be found on the database at references SUR-56E1F4 and SWYOR-E39233.A complete example has not yet been found, and the date and function of these objects remain a mystery.
