TREASURE CASE : 2013 T587. Small gold-alloy ingot. The ingot is a flattened irregular oval, sub-rectangular in cross-section. It seems likely that it has been hammered to flatten it out, but surface irregularities remain. On one of the flattened surfaces, the metal has been heavily scratched. The pale yellowish colour suggests an alloy of gold and silver. The form of the ingot is not diagnostic to any particular period.
