Description: | An incomplete copper alloy and enamelled object of Late Iron Age or Early Roman date (100 BC - AD 100), probably a so-called 'dangler'. It consists of a solid circular face 33.2mm in diameter, extremely worn to the front but decorated with inset squares and lozenges of now-yellow enamel. These appear to be arranged in a chequerboard pattern. Where the surface is very badly worn, a few deep holes are apparent. This section is 6.1mm thick, but to the reverse a circular-sectioned projection (8.9mm in diameter) rises from the middle to give a height of 14.3mm. The object weighs 37.56g.The metal is rather pitted to the reverse.
