Title
post Medieval gold object
Description
English: Fragment of gold filigree decoration. Two gold wire coils attached with solder to the outer curved side of a central gold rectangular sheet. The sheet is convex and appears as a half-tube in section. In the centre of each gold coil is a gold pellet. There are also two pellets soldered onto the coils and gold sheet aligned to run down the middle of the gold sheet. The half-tube sheet is flush at one end with the tops of the coils and protrudes further than the coils at the other end. At the protruding end there are an additional two pellets that have been soldered on, one at each corner of the sheet.

This object may originally have been round in shape, with the reverse not designed to be seen. It is possibly part of a rosary bead (?).
