Description: | A modern copper alloy hinged book pendant. The two sides of the pendant are rectangular in shape, formed of folded copper alloy sheet; the front sheet has been decorated on with a curling foliate design either side of an diagonal banner with an inscription which is now very worn but appears to read 'souvenir'. The two sides of the pendant are attached to a central bar by two lugs of copper sheet that create a hinge. There are two further sheets of copper inside the book forming pages that can only be seen from the side and top of the pendant. On the top edge of the back plate there is an irregular shaped lug suggesting that this would have formed an attachment lug.It measures 18.3 mm in length, 14.4 mm wide, 4.0 mm thick and weighs 4.1 g.
