Description: An ingot, analysed and found to be a high-tin pewter. Cast metal bar, one end rounded, the other distorted and broken. The section is plano-convex, tending to trapezoidal near the broken end. The surface of the curved face is uneven with numerous longitudinal striations, that of the straight face smooth. Near the very rough fracture the object has been bent, and there is transverse concavity, probably caused by pressure on the convex face. Small cracks on the convex surface are probably the result of post-depositional damage.The ingot weighs 113.62g. Analysis: Non-de…
