Copper alloy probable pendant fragment. A possibly die-stamped openwork frame of sub-triangular form, comprising an anchor-shaped figure with knopped top loop set between a pair of diverging struts which end at a curved bar. This extends between what appear likely to have been loops for an axis bar at the ends of the struts, and it is suggested a flat discoid plate would be retained here, possibly freely turning, and probably as the most striking part of the assembled piece. Traces of rust on the lower part of the object may come from the putative axis bar. Anni Byard kindly suggests …
