Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy unidentified object, probably dating to the Early Medieval period and of Anglo-Saxon attribution, c. 11th century AD. The fragment consists of an irregularly shaped plate, which is now twisted from damage, but seems to have originally been flat. The outer surface is decorated with a raised zoomorphic design and traces of chalky white substance in some of the recessed areas could suggest inlaid material. The reverse surface is plan and undecorated. The fragment measures 40 mm long, 19.4 mm maximum width, 3.2 mm thick and weighs 9.3 grams.
