Description: | Copper alloyCheek Piece, toggle or slider fragment. Cast waisted cylindrical shaft, with one side of its slotted continuation remaining. The slot was in excess of 16mm long and circa 8mm wide. Decorative triangular recesses appear at either end of the less complete side, that closest to the slot being supplemented by a line of six crudely incised triangles within incised borders. The other retains a white surface flecked with red which may indicate that this, and perhaps the other, recess was filled with enamel. Polished by wear overall, and with extensive iron staining suggesting burial close to or attached to iron objects. Suggested date: late Iron Age, 300BC-AD100.Length: 51.5mm, Diameter: 14.2mm, thickness (at slot): 2.2mm, Weight: 15.3mm.
