Description: | A Medieval silver unidentified object (c. 1300-c. 1400 AD). Treasure case no. 2011 T1.The object is misshapen and deliberately folded. In its original unfolded state the object would have formed a 'T'-shape with a long top bar and a shorter bar at 90° to the top bar. The ends of the bars have been chamfered. The long top bar has rocker-work decoration forming a saltire cross at each end although one end has been folded back on itself, almost concealing the rocker-work. At the unfolded end of the top bar there is a solder scar at the centre of the saltire cross. The shorter bar has also been folded back. On the visible surface of this bar, close to the chamfered end, there are two small silver projections enclosed by a partial rocker-work saltire.There is no break which would suggest that this object was originally cross-shaped.33.7 x 17.0 x 15.8mm. Weight: 7.51g.
