About this work
The cast, openwork object is in the form of a nodus. In the center a hollow shaft, bordered on both sides with a cord edge. Around it a double cord edge forming a braided motif. The connection between these parts consists of rings with knobs at the points of contact. A quarter is missing. The function is unknown. Presumably a ground find.
