Viking (Ascribed culture)
An angular terminal cut from an ingot with rectangular cross-section, of cast and worked silver. There is a change in colour within the piece that appears to indicate that it has been formed from two different metal alloys. One is silver yet rough and the other is much darker and smooth.
