Unidentified object made from copper alloy. It is L-shaped, 29 mm long, with one arm measuring 15 mm wide at the corner and tapering to 9 mm wide at the top. This arm is thick and solid, tapering from 5.5 mm thick at the junction with the other arm to 3 mm thick at the narrower end. It is decorated with a double transverse ridge on both faces, and another (now very worn) at the narrow end. Running along the bottom of this part, and extending to form the other arm of the L, are two parallel bars forming a slot. Beyond the end of the solid arm the slot is open at both edges, and one …

Unidentified object made from copper alloy and iron. It is flattish and consists of a disc with a long pointed projection. The disc is 16 mm in diameter and mainly composed of iron, with a depression in the centre which may once have been a perforation. Around the edge of the disc, at least on one face, is a short length of copper alloy which curves around and then projects out to end in what may be a relief animal head. The poor condition of the object means that it is hard to decide even if the animal head is in profile or full-face; it is just possible that it has been subjecte…
