This item was originally identified as a fragment of late Iron Age torc, but seems more likely (from the photograph) to be a large separately cast side knob from a cruciform brooch headplate. The description originally said that the object was made from copper alloy and iron, with the surface possibly silvered or tinned. It was described as 'concave copper with an iron insert tab in the middle'. The single photograph is unclear, but it appears to have a flat, slightly flaring attachment tab projecting from the base. The base is decorated with two grooves which divide it into thr…
