A complete mishapen thin gold finger ring, no hall marks or other decoration. Dimensions: Hoop width: 1.3 mm Hoop thickness: 0.7 mm Length: 21.0 mm Width: 16.1 mm Weight: 0.5 g.

Description: A pressed tin coffin plaque that would have depicted a pair of cherubs and would have been ovoid. The artefact is fragmented into eight larger pieces and numerous smaller flakes although there are no other signs of corrosion. Dimensions: The largest fragment is approximately 70mm x 30mm. Owing to its fragmentary state, it is not possible to tell the original dimensions of the complete object.  Based on the fragments remaining, the object would probably not have been larger that 100mm wide and 70mm high.
