MEDIEVAL UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
1200
A medieval unidentified object: hollow and of truncated lozengiform outline. About one half is filled with corroded iron, while the other is open-sided and empty. Both faces are decorated with a median rib and zig-zag lines of finely engraved interrupted rocker-arm engraving, giving the appearance of tiny addorsed triangles. Filed transverse grooves mark the closed sides. The object's function is unknown. The engraved decoration suggests a medieval date, probably 13th or 14th century.
