2012T257: Unidentified object, not Treasure |
||
| Description |
English: Fragment of unidentified object made from iron with a white-metal coating (perhaps tin) on the decorated face. The surviving piece is flat and roughly rectangular, measuring 18.4mm long and 11.0mm wide; there are no identifiable original edges. It is decorated with a pair of circular domed bosses with square or lozenge-shaped flat tops. The white metal has worn away here and there is some lumpy iron corrosion. Around the bosses is a groove with very fine transverse ribbing in the base. Outside this, each boss has a penannular ridge when appears to end in a pellet in the centre of the object; the outer ends of this ridge are either missing or obscured by iron corrosion. Between the bosses is a groove, running across the shorter axis of the object. This groove has a minute punched dot or lozenge in the centre, and ends in a rounded terminal before the edge of the object.
The fragment has an irregular rough reverse as if broken and/or corroded. It is attracted to a magnet, confirming its identification as iron. It is a maximum of 3.8mm thick and weighs 1.2g. It is extremely difficult to suggest a date or function for this item; no parallel of early-medieval date can be suggested. |
