|width="600pt"| '''Irish metal-work'''
Fragment of bronze, a thick oblong plaque, 2cms. wide at the defective lower end, upwards narrowing to 1.5cms. where it terminates in
a solid string of circular section, slightly curved. At the transition between the plaque and the string, there are two lateral projections and, on the front side, a projecting animal head. The front shows traces of a linear ornament and of enamel. It is most probably a piece of Irish metal-work, but the destination of the object cannot be ascertained.
