Title
Early Medieval: Plaque or inlay
Description
English: A complete gilt copper alloy plaque or inlay, of Early Medieval dating (AD 750 to AD 1200).

The plaque is rectangular in shape, with moulded decoration (?Style 1) on the front. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The decoration on the front bears similarity to that of the Tiermensch or 'beastman' motif. The decoration consists of several motifs, each appears to be multistranded. Gilding survives in the recesses.

It measures 26.6 mm in length, 13.0 mm wide and 1.9 mm thick. It weighs 2.8 g.

The plaque is a dark green to gold colour, with an even surface patina.

Several similar plaques have been recorded on the PAS database including: NCL-AED1F3; SF-4DE4E1; DOR-4F44A2; SOM-7F2A01.
