Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy probably Medieval (1100-1500) unidentified object, measuring 23.95x15.07x2.89mm and weighs 2.22g.It has a circular body 15.07mm diameter and 1.97mm thick and is pierced by two opposing rivets, 1.5mm in diameter and 2.89mm high. Between them, at the centre, is a c.2mm wide hole now filled with corrosion. Flanking the edge (and passing 'through' the two rivets) is a very corroded ring of copper alloy. The plate, without rivets, is c.1.7mm thick.To one edge is a zoomorphic projection with bulbous brow ridge and square snout, D-shaped in section. To the opposite side of the body is a shank also D-shaped in cross-section and apparently pierced, although it could also be the way it has broken.The object has some similarities with 'disc-on-pin' brooches, an artefact type thought to be later Medieval in date (see Geake 2005, 346-348).
