Gold ribbon. Penannular fragment of gold foil or thin sheet with a border along its edges and at one end, and decorated with three densely billeted longitudinal ribs in relief. One end of the object is lost, and a crack runs across what remains near its mid point.

In view of its age and material this object is to be submitted to the Treasure process, Treasure reference 2014 T534..
