Neatly formed silver ingot, 1953 grams, about 98.5% fine, with stamps of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC (Dutch East India Co.), cast in parallel to bar width. 6" long, 1-1/2" wide, 1-1/4" thick. Typically neatly-formed Dutch ingot with bold Zeeland VOC monogram and faint 8-sided rose (Amsterdam silversmiths) marks on one side, one end of the bar cut diagonally twice to adjust the weight (hence lacking the usual pit), with prominent mold seams along the sides, meticulously certified as direct from the salvager. From the Slot ter Hooge, sunk in 1724 off Porto Santo, Madeira Islands, with original certificate from the salvager (Robert Stenuit).
