Description: | Unidentified copper alloy object consisting of a disc on the edge of one face are four motifs resembling truncated lozenges. These consist of a central reserved lozenge around which is a truncated band which appears to contain stamp impressions (corrosion makes interpretation difficult). This is set within a concentric reserved field which may contain, angled transverse lines. Across the face of the disc are a number of faintly marked lines made up of small punch marks, two of these form a cross but there may be other lines set at 45 degrees. The reverse of the object is undecorated and has a rough surface. This object is difficult to identify. Its associations are early Medieval but it cannot be assumed that it is of this date. It might be the end from a work-box but it is rather small and the decoration is incised and not repousse as is the case on work-boxes, Diameter 34.1mm, Thickness 0.8mm, Mass 4.17g.
