Unique ID: LANCUM-E4C6A2

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

Cast cu-alloy mount, possibly silvered. There are two large rectangular loops on the reverse, as well as a two smaller pierced lugs. The obverse is very corroded and much of the cast(?) decoration is lost. The centrepiece, held in place by a rivet(?) is missing, but there are very faint remains of intricate zoomorphic design (?) on the outer rim. Also, parts of silvering remain.
