It is made from a length of copper-alloy strip folded in half with a wide gap at the fold, as if to hinge around a bar; the edges taper slightly at this end, as if to accommodate a frame. The other end is fragmentary, but appears to have been decoratively shaped into a circular aperture with a short groove running from this down the centre of the plate. …
