Silver-gilt Fragment

Description

Silver unidentified object. A small triangular object comprising a plain back-plate of thickness 0.4mm and a stamped front, the latter bearing rounded bosses as follow: two rows of five; separated by a horizontal bar from one row of three bosses; below two bosses, which are below an inverted crescent. The display face appears to be gilded over the thin silver sheet of which it is made. The back-plate is peeled away at the apex of the triangular form. This is presumably part of a composite object.
