Copper-alloy cross-shaped strap distributor (length 18mm, width 17.5mm, thickness 3mm, weight 2.51g). It has a cross-shaped frame with a cross-shaped aperture in the centre; the angles of the cross are curved and the ends of each have a narrow recess in the centre. Compare SUR-077856, BERK-EF5D92, SOM-294FD3 and LIN-040B56. An example from Middle Harling, Norfolk, mis-identified as a horse-harness pendant (Margeson in Rogerson 1995, p. 68, fig. 51, cat. no. 129) was found by metal-detecting and so does not help in dating, but another example from Winchester (Biddle 1990, no. 1402) was…
