Good very fine; slightly chipped at edge.
Acquired 1980-2015. Ex Abelita family collection.
This piece, with the cross-and-pellets design closely resembling some medieval period coins of England and Europe, was possibly made for jewellery use; the two small chips to the edge could well have been where loops or similar fixings were once attached.
