Cut silver "tumbaga style" ingot #6 from the "Golden Fleece wreck" (ca. 1550), 2495 grams, with illegible fineness markings and tax stamp. About 5-1/2" x 2-3/4" x 1-1/2". An odd item for this wreck, whose silver yield was almost entirely round "splash" ingots, this piece instead being the middle portion of a big, rectangular "tumbaga" ingot from a few decades prior, the two cuts (about 1/3 chiseled and 2/3 broken) clear on the wide ends, the fineness marked on both sides (one with circular tax stamp as well) but illegible due to corrosion, very heavy and bricklike. From the "Golden Fleece wreck" (ca. 1550).
