Early Medieval silver ingot
Small finger-shaped metal ingot with rounded ends of silvery-grey appearance, with an irregularly pitted underside. The uneven state of the upper surface, with a slightly concave central area, is consistent with the ingot having been cast in an open mould (stone, ceramic or earth). No evidence for nicking, slicing, pecking or bending - interventions sometimes undertaken in antiquity to test purity.
