Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Iron Age / Roman shield
Badly corroded (much more so than the one under 63.419/5) pelta-shaped plaque for the ornamentation of a shield (probably the same shield from which the shield boss fragments under 63.419/1 & 2 derive) which, together with plaque 63.419/5, was cut from a disc 420mm in diameter. Very faint traces of decoration in the same style as the /5 plaque.
