Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval copper alloy object, 27mm in diameter, 2mm thick and weighing 5.26grams. The object is a flat circular plate which has incised decoration on one surface. This consists of a five pointed star with a central raised circle. Each arm of the star contains a raised solid triangle with its base butting up against the central circle. Each of these have two circular depressions near their base. The five fields outside the star motif are filled with a raised semi circle, with two parallel lines running diagonally across it, butting up to the stars arm at one side and a slightly curved raised line at the other. The object has a plain underside and has rough edges, suggesting it is incomplete. The only clue to it's function is a semi-circular cut out in its edge, which could be an incomplete suspension hole?
