Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy artefact.The piece consists of a roughly rectangular plate with a deliberately created, lengthways curvature. The remains of a tapering right-angled projection are located at the centre of one of the two longer sides. The upper surface is occupied by an incised saltire, two arms of which have scalloped edges, all with rocker-arm infill. Each of the two shorter sides has a repeating pattern of oblique, parallel grooves, creating a ropework effect. A circular rivet hole, containing the corroded remains of an iron rivet, is located at the centre of the piece.Length: 25.6mm; width: 25.3mm; thickness: 1.1mm; height of object: 5.4mm. Weight: 3.76g.The condition and decoration of this piece suggest a date of 13th to 14th century. Although of atypical form, it is possible that this is a harness pendant.
