Fragment of a rectangular with repousse decoration. A rib runs round the edge and in the surviving corver there is a boss within a concentric ring. In the centre there is a much larger boss and ring. Other small fragments survive, some with parts of bosses and one with a square rivet hole, suggesting that there was more than one plate. Such plates could have been used in several ways. At Intercisa a number have been found used as box plates (Alfoldi et al 1957, Abb 56-7, 72, 74-7, 79, 81-82, 84, 87) See Allason-Jones and Miket 1984, 3 652-6 where their various uses as box plates and girth covers are discussed.
