Description: | Silver unidentified object. Fragment of a cast round section rod with two or more circumferentially incised bands of width 0.5mm which may retain inlay traces. Both ends are indented by up to 0.7mm, and there is a deep gouge in one side. The black surface and density may suggest this to be a fragment from a bead-like object made of silver, though the object lacks a stringing hole. The decorative inlay of silver objects is characteristic of the Middle Saxon period, though the condition of this fragment vitiates further comment. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 700-850. In view of its suggested age and material, this object is to be submitted [somewhat reluctantly given its apparently poor condition] to the Treasure process, reference TBC.Length: 11.8mm, Diameter: 6.4mm, Weight: 2.49gms
