A letter from Sir John Edward Swinburne, who acquired part of a hoard of silver vessels, mainly broken fragments of highly decorated paterae including that shown in this drawing. The vessels seem to have been for religious use. They were found in 1747 near Swinburne's house in Northumberland (place unspecified).
