Early Medieval(?) copper alloy object, 32mm long, 14mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 5.07g. The object is in fair condition with a green patina. The object is rectangular in form and sub rectangular in section. It has two circular holes, one at each end, with two centrally placed incised ring and dots. One long edge slightly tapers in thickness and has an irregular edge suggesting part is missing. The object may be some sort of mount or perhaps a book fitting?
