status: Published 
Flat central oval plate with two opposing protrusions one of which has been drawn out and curled under to form a loop, the other tapers and appears to have a missing 'tip'. The plate is heavily gilded and decorated with four equally spaced bulbous headed rivets with expanded tops resembling 'buns'. Each of the rivets have a shallow cross engraved on the top and also appear to have been gilded. The rivets are hammered flat to secure them on the reverse of the plate. No parallel has been found.
