Description: | Treasure reference no. 2014 T186: modern armlet.The find consists of an armlet with animal head terminals and decorated with ribbon interlace apparently imitating Viking style.However, surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum identified the metal as pewter, an alloy of tin with lead, antimony and a trace of bismuth and copper; it weighs 7.12 g. The composition of the pewter suggests the armlet may be post-17th century in date.The armlet is not made of precious metal and does not, therefore, qualify as Treasure under the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act.
