Description: | Description: silver object made from a flat silver strip, sub rectangular cross section, possibly a stem/ handle from a spoon. On one side of the object each edge has a grooved border and across the centre are the letters '...[O]?, MATER: DEI, [M]?...', translated to 'Mother of God'. The reverse is plain.Discussion: The phrase inscribed can be related to Catholic mass and can be found on objects associated with the Agnus Dei. Although no direct parallels can be found on the balance of probability 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.
