Description: Flat, roughly rectangular cast silver ingot, with rounded corners, rounded edges. The underside has a rougher texture where it was exposed to the air during the casting process. The object has a small modern abrasion visible at one end. There is what appears to be a slight cut into the top surface, which from the patination appears to have occurred in antiquity, but the form of this suggests that this was probably accidental rather than deliberate. A small nick is visible on edge, and it is unclear whether this represents deliberate edge nicking, a common form of testing…
