Title
Medieval gold sheet
Description
Early medieval fragment of gold sheet - possibly a bead or necklace fragment.

This object from Frisby, Melton, is probably a bead or suspension loop from a bracteate pendant or similar item of jewellery. It would appear that it has been lost after being damaged or possibly it was deliberately broken up for re-use.
