Description: | A late Medieval fragment, possibly from a whistle, consisting of a hollow tube decorated with interlace ornament creating lozenge shapes. These are inhabited by a raised central square. At one end there is an elaborate collar of rope work passed between three coils of metal. The fragment is silver, and dates from the fifteenth or early sixteenth 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.
