Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Probably Late Saxon copper alloy possible stirrup terminal fragment. A central channel along the flat side is partly filled with grey solder. There are four knobs or lobes on the outer face. A piece of copper alloy sheet is attached by solder to one inner face. If it is part of a stirrup terminal it is unusual. Most foot-like terminal are trilobed (cf. Williams. D.
