Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Published
One gold articulated band made of individual links on pivots forming basketweave pattern, each link with a bead. The ring was reported by the finders as it was believed to be ancient in date, and possibly Merovingian in culture. Dr Barry Ager, curator of the Continental Early Medieval Collection at the British Museum, confirms that there are no known examples of Merovingian rings of such construction.

Object type: AMULET
Broad period: ROMAN

Workflow stage: Published
A rectangular sheet of un-corroded, lightly-patinated metal foil, dull copper-brown in appearance.
