Description: | Unidentified object of uncertain date. The piece is a long, solid, triangular point, tapering evenly in width down its length and slightly in thickness to the rounded point. It is hexagonal in section with wide flat front and back faces and angled sides on both faces. Down both angled sides on both faces are rows of large circular indented dots. The broad end is concave in plan and possibly complete in the centre with broken stubs to either side. It is slightly curved in profile although this may be damage. It is 48.8mm long, 6.5mm thick by 12.6mm at the top, 3.2mm by 3.6mm just before the point. It weighs 10.37 grams.It is not clear what larger item it is a part of, sword guard and strap end have both been suggested but neither seem correct. The date is also unclear although it appears not to be modern.
