Title
Early-medieval unidentified object
Description
English: Unidentified object made of a lead alloy, with some silvery ?rubbed areas which may possibly be inlaid silver wires. Most of the object is made of very thin sheet, but across the ?top is a chunky lozenge- or pentagonal-section moulding with transverse ribbing on the flat upper face. The sheet then curves down away from this moulding. Running down the sheet perpendicular from the chunky moulding is a narrow moulding which appears to have some slight transverse grooving or ridging at the lower end. This moulding separates two incomplete spirals, or pairs of concentric circles, made from silvery wires or rubbed ridges. The fragment has similarities to scrolled nostrils on horse-head terminals from early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooches, but the material is unusual and the chunky pentagonal moulding is mysterious. Given that the area appears to have been used as an early Anglo-Saxon cemetery, this date is not unlikely, and so the object has been drawn and photographed.
