Description: | An unidentified object of late Medieval to Post Medieval date, about AD 1300 - 1700. The object is a strip of sheet copper alloy, now bent into a loop, but not neccessarily so formed originally. One end of the strip is rolled over to form a rounded hinge. The outer face of the loop is decorated with incised lines along the long edges, filled with triangular panels of rocker arm lines, each panel containing 7 or 8 oblique lines of rocker arm decoration at right angles to the line sin the adjoining panel. The strip is 13.6mm wide and the loop is 23.8mm diameter. The strip was about 70mm long before into was bent into a loop. The sheet is 0.88mm thick. 4.78g.The function of this decorative object is not certain. Rocker arm decoration on sheet metal objects can be seen on book fittings, buckle plates and mounts among other objects. The rolled terminal has no hole or slot for a pin, so the object is not a buckle plate. There is no evidence of attachment.
