It looks like one of those "Celtic Danglers" in Bennetts Artefacts book - I'll check it against my copy in an hour or so.

I'll also book my taxi in case I'm wrong! Grin

Chef - reference - Nigel Mills Celtic Artefacts see reference C46 page 30 or try page 41 in Benet's Artefacts.

I was looking at Monkeys via a mobile phone and I am more than likely wrong looking at it on a pc now, but they certainly have stylistic similarities. Roll Eyes

My taxi has arrived and I need to get my coat!!!!! Grin

It's late celtic 50BC to 50AD... these are known as Hangers, danglers or fobs.... they were used to hold things from a harness.
