Bronze, exceptionally large, just under 2 3/8” diameter of slightly domed form. Broadband with line borders flanking curvilinear floral (?) decoration, now mostly obscured by degradation from burial. Slotted for the captive cross pin. Worn in multiples attached to leather or heavy wool jerkins, this example is easily capable of absorbing a sword blow without failure. Large iconic representative of these protective dress accessories. Professionally refurbished with the pure silver surface restored and suspended from a modern Sterling silver mounted polished leather neck cord for modern wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
