Description: | A copper alloy unidentified object of unknown date. Only a tiny fragment of the object survives. It is sub-rectangular with one long straight edge, rounded ends, and the other long edge is curving, so the object is wider at one end than the other. The fragment also varies in thickness, having a square pyramid bump on the reverse behind the wider end. The front is decorated with a single ring-and-dot motif stamped into the metal. Ring-and-dot decoration is often associated with the Early Medieval period, but was also used in the Roman and Post Medieval periods. The thickening of the fragment is reminiscient of Post Medieval buckles with the frame thickened to take the hole for a separate spindle or bar, but too little of the object survives to suggest a date or function. The fragment is 17.6mm long, 6.7mm wide and 3.5mm thick. 0.76g. It has a smooth mid green patina.
