Workflow stage: Published
An unidentified bone object, 87mm long and 14mm wide. The object is possibly made from an animal rib as it seems to have a natural surface and is slightly tapered. It is decorated with incised lines on each surface and the sides have a line of carved out nothces, possibly to provide a grip. The surface decoration comprises of two incised lines which follow the outside edge. On one side they taper to a point and there is a further 'arrow' shaped incised line. On the opposite side to this the object has a diagonal edge which appears deliberate. The other edge tapers to a thin edge.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Undated copper alloy and silver mount, 29mm in diameter and 11mm thick. The object is in a fair condition with a green patina and weighs 13.67 grams. The object appears to be the back plate of some sort of mount and has two semi-circular bands of copper alloy, 26mm long and 10mm wide, attached to the back. These are incomplete, with broken edges, but appear to have been fixing loops. Curiously the object has five silver rivets, four are arranged in a square formation but the fifth is in the centre and underneath the loops. This may suggest that the loops are later additions?
