status: Awaiting validation 
A white metal object, possibly a compound of base silver and most likely cast. The object most likely dates to Post Medieval period. The length is 27mm, the width is 13mm and the weight 2.96g. The object has loops on both ends, which suggests that it is not a stand alone object. Because the 2 loops and its small size the object could possibly be a bead for a necklace/bracelet, or something that would be attached to a curtain, shawl or any other textile. At the bottom end of the object there is evidence of wear, this could suggest that it had thread or cloth wrapped around it. As of yet there are no known parallels to be found.
