Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy openwork decorated domed artefact, of probable Medieval dating (12th to 15th Centuries AD).The artefact is circular in plan. It has a central circular perforation with a plain collar around it. Surrounding this, the artefact is decorated by a zig zag woven pattern. The base of the artefact consists of seven incomplete arms. The base of these arms exhibits a rough surface, suggesting an old break. The reverse is plain and undecorated.It has a diameter of 25.85mm and is 4.6mm thick. It weighs 6.8 grams.The original function of this artefact at time of recording is uncertain, it is possible that it could be from a sword / dagger pommel but no parallels have been found.
