Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A fragmentary strip of silver, broken at both ends and bent in the middle. It is rectangular in section and has a thicker bar across it near the bend. One face is decorated with geometric patterns in fine incised lines. In the opinion of Dora Thornton of the British Museum, the fragment cannot be securely dated to before 1711, and so does not need to be declared as Treasure.
