Title
Early medieval unidentified object, probably burnt/melted
Description
English: Cast copper alloy miscast or burnt object, possibly dating from the early medieval period, that is c. 10th-12th century. Rather than spillage or casting waste, this object looks like either a mis-cast or a burnt object. Casting spillage is usually single faced, the back having been open to the air and plain; this object appears to have been double sided. The 'interlace' strands could by Urnes style but there is no sign of any zoomorphic element and the bosses are extremely uncommon for Urnes style decorated objects. The bosses/studs on one face suggest that it was a mount - a belt or strap slide, possibly.

There are also similarities to an early Roman belt slide/mount recorded under <a href="http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/227517" title="View details for LANCUM-1C97F0">LANCUM-1C97F0</a>.
