Post-Medieval gold pendant
Commemorative gold locket, comprising an inner oval case, with monogram 'ATR' in rectangular gold cloisons or cells (now empty), an oval sheet of mica which formed a window over the former, and an outer case with small suspension loop, hinged at the top for a lid of similar design. The front and back are externally decorated with cross-hatching, and the two sides bear identical white enamel, with a central gold ridge.
Analysis revealed traces of a bituminous substance within the letter cells, possibly used as an adhesive for the inset, now lost.
