Description: | Unidentified silver object, probably openwork and perhaps a frame. Flat-sectioned, curved bar broken at one end, expanding at the other to form an openwork circular aperture across which is a further break. There are two breaks on opposite edges, one near the circular aperture and one next to the transverse break, flush with the surface. Both faces are endgraved with a border of stamped triangles along either edge and a single line around the circular aperture,. On one face there is a stamped maker's mark ST within a rectangle before an engraved inscription DEO R[ and on the opposite face A•D•1795• SI[. The maker's mark is stamped to be read upside down in comparison with the rest of the inscription on that face, and the inscriptions on both faces are engraved to be read from the broken circular aperture towards the transverse break. Gilding survives over the whole surface except at the breaks.Surviving length 24mm. Width of bar 4.5mm. Thickness 1.5mm. Width at break accross aperture 7.5mm.
