Description: | An Early Medieval (Anglo Scandinavian) silver ingot. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface conducted at the British Museum indicated a silver content for the ingot of approximately 97%; it weighs 9.41 grams. The ingot is in the form of a short, ovoid bar with a smooth upper surface and an abraded, pitted lower one. A large number of silver ingots of the Viking period have been found mainly in hoards in England, Ireland and the Netherlands, as well as in Scandinavia. The form and abraded surfaces of the ingot are typical of this period. Note: See Treasure Annual Reports 1998-1999, no. 83; 2000, nos. 67-8; 2001, nos. 66-8.
