Am I wrong, or doesn't this look like chip carving?

You're right, they're notches. I didn't know the term. But what are they made of?

It's possible that it's a plate from an early medieval bow brooch. The chip-carved decoration is classically classified as culturally Saxon, though whether that's always the case is debatable. At least, that's what we learn in our studies.
