Record ID: CAM-85A392
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
A gilded copper-alloy composite artefact of uncertain use or function and of Early-Medieval date. The copper alloy visible beneath the gilding has dark patches in many places, almost black-purplish on the reverse; this might suggest some inclusion of silver in the alloy, perhaps over 10%; this could only be tested with XRF analysis.
