Has anyone any idea what this was used for or its age?
When I found it I thought it was rubbish but when I cleaned it I saw it had a loop shaped like a snake so I thought it might have been some sort of pendant but I noticed three small holes so it must have been attached to something.
It's about 2½ inches by 2 inches. It seems to be bronze.
Any ideas, anyone?Thanks, Mudlark (Janet)

The hoop of the snakes head and design remind me of a sword belt dangler if you turned it round the other way, and I guess the plate would fix onto leather.

Interesting find

Neil,
Thanks for your comments on my find. Very interesting. I hope you are right about it being a sword belt dangler and I suppose that would make it quite old. Medieval?
Thanks again, Janet
