Description: | Silver-tin alloy strip which could be either a ring fragment or part of a strap end.The strip has been cast and appears to be a fragment of something. It could have been part of a ring which has been flattened or a decoration of a strapend (it is not heavy enough to be a strapend in itself). The strip is rectangular in plan and narrows slightly at one end. At the narrower end there is some decoration in relief. The decoration consists of a pointed rectangle. The long sides are normal but one end is pointed whilst at the other the lines curl round into two circles. This is possibly a phallic symbol. Inside the sub-rectangle are 4 pellets in a vertical line.
