I believe this is a Main Frame Processor of some description.
It Measures 106mm (4.2inches) square, is 25mm (1inch) thick and weighs in at 709 grams (1lb9oz)
It seems to have a Seam of Gold running through the middle of it that is about 4mm (1/4inch) thick.
The Top seems to be some sort of Marble or Ceramic. it is very Smooth.
Looks like it was made in Japan by Hitachi
Very Happy thanks in advance and cheers all

I can't give you any specifics on that particular device, but generically those are called multi-chip modules (MCM). Typically they consist of several interconnected die mounted on a common substrate - usually ceramic.
