      Oakham Castle?

      Not Oakham Castle. Scottish, yes. The pieces are some kind of clothes fasteners.

      The treasure was returned briefly to Shetland in 2008 and I guess you saw it in Edinburgh at the NMA ----- I said it does not look old as they are almost undamaged --------

      These are in Edinburgh (8th century) and Shetland (20th century replicas) - the image is from NMS, Edinburgh.
