Title
Decorated fork, Llannerchymedd
Description
English: A silver, 2-pronged fork with figure decoration at the knop-end. The prongs of the fork are rounded at the point where they join the handle, and taper towards the end. They are quite corroded. 
The handle is considerably bent in a reverse S-shape.  On the handle the following letters have been stamped, although the letter in the middle is not clear:

G.  C.  B/S  F  P
The figure is 27mm in length and is decorated front and back. It appears that the figure is wrapped in swathes of fabric. It also appears that there may be a rectangular object under the left arm. The face of the figure may be skeletal, but this is unclear.
