The holes have a diameter of c. 3.1mm.The object is corroded and has a variable green patina in places.Height: 38.9mm; width: 29.9mm; thickness: 8.4mm. Weight: 13.74g.Similar objects recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database have been dated from 300 BC to AD 1900. See finds: CAM-116906; HESH-30B424; IOW-A2BB16; NLM-D4F4D3 and SF-5F8DA2.
