A fragment of incised decorative plaque / band of gold probably dating from the late medieval period (1380 -1500 AD).

It seems that the band has been folded at least 6 times to form a small rectangle of gold which has subsequently been straightened to its present shape. Evidence for this folding is present in a series of creases; these are most obvious on the inner / revers…
