An unusual cast copper-alloy disc with four equally spaced knops of iron protruding one of which may have been thinner than the others, suggesting perhaps a pendant loop. The disc has a cross engraved on one side with palm frond ends and on the other what appears to be a palm leaf. Similar to the Byzantine-inspired Encolpia or reliquary crosses found in Viking jewellery
