Description: | Treasure case 2006 T430
Description
Fragment of gold strip, embossed with four horizontal lines. In one corner there is a piercing, probably deliberate. The long edges have been folded back such that the folded edge appears on the ??reverse?? side, from which the embossing has been carried out.
Maximum length 30mm; maximum width 17mm; thickness less than 0.5mm; weight 1.21 grams.
Identification
In all likelihood the piece is more than 300 years old. However it is not possible to assign this fragment to a firm cultural or chronological context.
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. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crump, Barry - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
