Description: | An incomplete Medieval - Post Medieval silverstrip, dating AD 1401-1600. A long, thin, rectanglar strip of silver, which has been straightened out. Two sets of parellell lines run along either edge, creating a border for a foliate design. The design is made up of a series of intertwining branches and leaves. The right hand side is slightly bent and broken, possibly a cause of straightening it. No similar examples have been found but the strip could have been an inlay for a casket or staff. Based on the design it appears to be of 15th-16th century date.The object is 60mm in length
