Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, probably a pendant of uncertain date. It has a flat, disc shaped plate that is extremely worn and now missing any decorative elements it may once have had. At the top of the plate is an integral loop(?) that is flat, rectangular in section, and tapoers towards old breaks. The entire object measures 31.88mm in length (21.82mm at plate only), 22.37mm in width, 1.10mm in thickness, and 2.88g in weight.This precise function of this object remains uncertain due to its preservation. If the projection at the top of the plate is indeed the remains of a suspension loop, then this is likely to be a decorative pendant or similar item. As such it would perhaps most plausibly date to the Medieval or Post-Medieval periods, although an earlier date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
