Description (Physical description)
One small ferrule-like object made from a thin sheet of silver alloy. Concave sides; one edge showing two opposing perforations, the other one with two pairs of two opposing rivet holes still holding a small rectangular copper alloy sheet on the inside; between these small plates and the inner wall, smaller vertical strips of a copper alloy have survived on both sides, which were inserted between them and have presumably broken off. Vertical welded seam still visible.
