Catalog Number a165-jes-cen
Type Pendant from a necklace
Datering Celtic/Romans (thought to be)
Material Ag
Mass gram 9.85
Size (mm) lwh l=30 b=15.5
Found on a field with many other old finds such as:
Denarius PONT MAX, six Sestertius and 13x Sestertius.
Also found on this field 9x Denier 9th century, silver coins from the 13th-15th-16th-19th, plus 3x sterling Henry III, Frederik II, Hendrik VII, many others.
I believe this was a trading post from long ago.
On adjacent fields I found a gold bracteate, 3x Tremissis Madelinus, 1x Tremissis france empire, 1x Sceatta Domburg, 1x Sceatta Anglo-Saxon type, 2x 13th century silver coins, zilver buttons, other silver coins such as a Solidus Christina Riga, penny Frederic III and more.
So I am believing that this find must come from the same era's. Looking to find exactly what it is, there is a determination that it is a pendant from a Celtic necklace, see the photos. But I don't believe it is so old.
On the bottom there appears to have been a silver wire thread through the object.
Two photos showing the object as found, with a caked shell around it. The following is after cleaning, then the reason for losing the object is that the eye is broken.
