A silver-gilt lozenge shaped fragment of medieval date. It is not possible to say with certainty exactly what this object is or where it came from. The fragment is broken at one end of the length of the lozenge. Both faces and each side of the fragment are gilded. The faces are decorated with a metalworking technique called pointillé and show a quatrefoil petal in the centre with small flourishes surrounding the flower. This technique was popular in Northern Europe - particularly England and France - in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century.
