Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment of an unidentified object of uncertain date. The fragment consists of a sub-triangular end, which has been bent half-way onto itself to resemble a hook or crude loop. The rest of the object is a portion of a sub-rectangular plate, which seems to have been decorated with either inlay or simply recessed cells; the remains of a triangular cell is visible at the join between the sub-triangular and sub-rectangular segments, in addition to two square cells below on the sub-rectangular portion. Due to severe surface abrasion, it is likely that these cells would have been originally much deeper and the metal colour within the cells is of a lighter green colour than the surrounding metal. The reverse surface is undecorated and is in relatively poor condition compared to the outer surface which is of an even dark green patina. The fragment measures 37.4 mm long, 16.6 mm maximum width, 7.8 mm thick (at loop), 1.5 mm thick at plate-end and weighs 3.64 grams.
