Dora Thornton of the British Museum writes:
"Post-medieval hollow reliquary pendant, made of silver, circular, with milled band at edge joining two discs; integral suspension loop at the top. On the front, cast image of Christ against the arms of the Cross; on the back, incised image of a young man (?) with long hair and ruff in stylised armour. W: 3.45g; 23.6 mm long; 5.8 mm thickness.
The form of the pendant suggests it may be a reliquary, while the armour and ruff suggest an early 17th Century date. Perhaps documenting Recusant culture in north Yorkshire at this period.
Early 17th Century.
Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
