Description: | Unidentified object: an incomplete rectangular-sectioned bar with one extant heart-shaped terminal narrowed at the rear through an offset, and a projection, from the probable mid-point, in the form of a fleur-de-lis. A hole through a thickening on the reverse at the spring of the projection is filled with a length of wire, broken at one end and pointed and bent over at the other. The front face is decorated with two pairs of broad transverse grooves on the bar and with shallow engraved lines on the base of the fleur. Length >48.5mm (estimated length 58mm assuming the missing terminal was as the surviving one). Dates to perhaps the 16th or 17th century.
