Description | Cast fragment; thick sheet copper alloy, slightly curved in profile, plain on one side, the back, the other heavily ridged; it is not clear if any original edge remains. The ridges are heavy and almost straight, but this could be very stylised drapery or, less probably, feathers of a bird figurine (Wardle). |
