Ornamental disc consisting of a larger backing plate (/13) with marginal radial ribbing and edge moulding and a smaller open-work upper disc (/14) originally fastened to the backing plate by central and marginal rivet. The openwork pattern consists of a three-limbed whirligig with streamers, defined by triquetral, circular, leaf- and comma-shaped openings with small raised leaves on the adjoining surfaces and three narrow curving bands of rolled-graver hatching, while an engraved trellis band follows the edge of the disc.
Ornamental disc, 50-80 CE, decorated in the Celtic art style.
