UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT

Unique ID: SF-6963F4

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

Discussion: This fragment could have originally possibly have been part of some sort of composite item of jewellery, such as a surround for a gem in a necklace. The fact that the object has been found on the same area as predominantly Anglo-Saxon circa 7th century objects implies that it is perhaps most likely to be of this date.

The precious metal content of this gold fragment fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10 %.
