Description: | Part of an Early-Medieval to Medieval copper-alloy cheek piece.The surviving piece consists of a D-sectioned arm which flares towards the inner end, where it bifurcates. A rounded moulding is located halfway along the straight-sided arm, and the distal end terminates in a hemispherical lobe.Length: 43.8mm; width: 12.1mm; thickness: 6.3mm. Weight: 11.47g.A similar, but more complete, cheek piece is illustrated by David Williams (2007: Fig. 3e). These objects typically display Anglo-Scandinavian styles of ornamentation and are considered to date from the 11th century.
