feveral Parts of this Kingdom fet in this Order. It is 
reported, that there were fome other pieces of Gold 
found with this, but I could not fee them : One, l was 
told, was fomewhat like a Scepter, about 1 8 Inches long 5 
and another was round like a large Medal, as thick as 
two Crown pieces, and as broad as the Palm of a Mans 
Hand, with ftrange Chara&ers on it. But whatever 
they were, the poor Man that found them I believe got 
but little by' them 5 tor this, of which 1 have here fent 
the Draught, was fold at the Market of Coothill for a 
quarter of a Pound of Tobacco, and afterwards at Dub- 
lin for Twenty three Pounds, where I faw it at the 
Goldfmiths, Its Beauty and. Colour furpaffed any Gold 
I had feen : It had been caft, and not wrought with the 
Hammer. The two Cones were two Inches in Diame- 
ter each, and two Inches afunder from each other. The 
Bow or Handle was made like an Arch (as you fee in 
the Figure) about a quarter of an Inch thick : The 
Handle was round, tapering towards both Ends, where 
it was fixed to both the Cones. The Goldfmith told 
me, that when he had wrought part thereof, he could 
not bring the Gold to the right Colour again, tbo’ it 
was in finenefs equal to our Standard. This could be no 
Ornament for the Body ^ perhaps it might be of fome 
religious ufe ; but whether Popifli, or Pagan, I leave to 
better Judgments.
