Gold pendant. A folded and crumpled discoid plate, plain on the back which is the exposed part, but with a series of flattened twisted wire loops of length 3mm passing beneath larger bosses on its display side, the latter features perhaps formed as hemispherical half-beads equipped with channels to permit the passage of the strands. An outer order of conjoined loops is discerned, with an indeterminate continuation of similar motifs on the obscured part of the pendant. A more finely cabled border of thickness 1.1mm ran round the outer edge of the disc, though worn, and is interrupted, p…
