Cast iron fragment. An iron plate with a rounded outer edge and concave sides, broken diagonally across its narrowest side. The material was tested with a magnet and responds strongly, so must be ferrous metal, though it displays no active corrosion whatsoever. A simple vegetal motif of a five branched sprig appears on the display face in a sunken triangular panel: though this appears as a hammered design, Dr Kevin Leahy kindly comments that it is cast. The back is flat. The object has rounded edges and fracture surfaces, and in this its condition is reminiscent of water-rolled materi…
