I agree with what reed13k wrote. I added the Danelaw to the keywords because it could be from the era of Danish rule of East Anglia et al (links above).
If the dating turns out to be at least a couple hundred years earlier, it becomes extremely interesting.
Meanwhile, check out Dark ages Danish art [Brave search]

"a dog breed that wasn’t developed until the 1700’s"
You mean that they are actually dogs?!
I always thought of them more like thick tailed barking rats, lol.

archaeologists reportedly can’t determine the purpose of the mysterious object. Imagine what future archaeologists will say when the discover a pet rock.

Interesting. And let us not forget the Phoenicians, who were obviously not responsible for this object, but who inhabited much of Spain and traded in these metals. The same was true of their successors, the Romans, who were the mining kings of Spain, and of course traded with everybody, often through the large Jewish communities in the trading areas.
And finally we have the fact that the Celts (the design looks a little Celtic) swept through Northern Spain and are thought to have gotten to Ireland by setting off from Galicia to Ireland, the closest point of the British Isles they could reach.
The Irish Celts were conquered by the Danes.
So the metal itself could tell an interesting story.

That is a horse. There are other runic pieces of a later date that simulate the filigree design, albeit I've never seen one that looked back. Interesting the British Lion was infrequently depicted looking 'round its shoulder, much as this horse was, as a warning.
This looks like it could have capped a cloak pin or even a kilt pin.
To: HereInTheHeartland; SunkenCiv
I think it’s the top part of a signet ring.
The owner got into a fight and that’s why it’s smashed.
It broke off and fell into the grass and was not found or the owner was killed in the fight..............

Yes, I can see the ‘horse’ now. If you look at the ‘legs’ they extend downward and backward but aren’t black because of age or corrosion. Mentally filling in the color then you see the horse plainly..................

I understand what she is saying.
It’s not an order, just a thought. My thoughts, at 62, run about the same. Mom and Dad getting old. What am I gonna do with all the stuff they have. Wife has tons of stuff from her mother, she can’t stand to part with. We have a houseful of stuff. Me personally I don’t have a lot of stuff. Never had the money for “stuff”.
But yeah, you die, nobody cares about your stuff!
But if material things are what make you happy then go ahead!
Nobody’s ordering you not to buy more things. But maybe just think about it?

The historian/archeologist is commenting about the intricate workmanship and artistry that sometimes went into copying out a bible in that time period.
