Description: Crumpled and perhaps incomplete piece of gold sheet. It appears roughly circular in shape, but has one original straight side with a slightly burred thickened edge. This edge was c. 23mm long but is now bent about halfway along, with one half irregularly folded back on itself. The disc has a straight, slightly raised repoussé band parallel to the straight side and probably at the object's widest point; the band is about 3.5mm wide. Between this band and the straight edge are four rounded repoussé bosses which look like deliberate decoration, and seem too regular to be c…
