Silver
Silver is a soft, white, lustrous metal. It is highly malleable, and has a low melting point, making it easy to cast. It can be produced as a by-product of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining. It can be highly polished, leading to a very reflective surface. Most of the silver found at Ur is in jewelry, but sometimes it is made into axes or mirrors. These are found mainly in the royal tombs.
