The Committee examined the ingot in light of this, but noted that in order for the valuation of this piece to remain consistent with those of the many other Viking silver ingots the Committee had valued previously, it was necessary to raise the suggested figure substantially. Additionally, though by its nature a fairly mundane object, the Committee felt that this was a pleasing example of an ingot. The Committee recommended £120.
