A fragment of a silver object for which no published parallel could be found. This fragment consists of a decorated front sheet and a separate sheet back face which is soldered to it. The fragment is almost semi-circular in shape with a curvilinear outer surviving edge and irregular inner edges. The inner edges have a central projection and this may be as there could have been two adjacent open work holes through the object either side of this area originally, however, due to the worn nature of the breaks this is not certain.. The front sheet of this object is decorated with a border …
