Silver cup of cantharus form with two ogival handles, found detached. There is no decoration, but the external surface appears to have been burnished. The interior shows hammer marks and the position of the handles is indicated by solder marks on the cup. The rim is thickened and neatly finished. The foot is of a low conical form, also has a thickened rim, and is attached to the body by a square-ended rivet. The slight knop between base and cup shows some green corrosion. The handles are of simple, flat section; but the basal attachment is formed to a simple drop-shape.
