Description: | A copper alloy incomplete object, broadly trapezoidal in form but with one long curved edge and in-curved short edges. The one straight edge (15.5mm long) is incomplete, a worn break. Much of the original patina is missing and the metal is now a mid-green in colour with darker (almost black) areas of concretion. It measures 33.3x17.2x1.6mm and weighs 3.35g.It is just possible this might be part of a medieval (1200-1500) cross guard (quillon) from a dagger, specifically the pelta or 'axe' shaped projection.
