Copper-alloy, 21.05 grams; 50.30 mm. Circa 9th - 11th century AD. The item is executed in thin openwork panels in the form of a pair of zoomorphs, probably from the cover of a book or satchel. The incised decoration is reminiscent of the Viking Ringerike style ornament found on commemorative runestones in Sweden and Norway, with rectilinear panels and dependant coiled tendrils. One quadrant was lost in antiquity. Very fine condition. Provenance: Found North Yorkshire.
