Gold and garnet setting. Report by Sonja Marzinzik of The British Museum. An Anglo-Saxon, round gold and garnet setting, now damaged. The central quatrefoil cell is now empty. It is surrounded by four semi-circular cloisons. Two of them still contain garnets (cracked) and there are garnet splinters in a third cell. The fourth cell has lost its garnet but still contains the wafered gold backing foil. A triple frame surrounds this arrangement: The plain cell border is set inside a very fine beaded wire ring and the outer edge of the object is framed by a twisted bead wire. The plai…

Gold fragment from a larger object. It has a round loop (presumably for attachment), embedded in and forming one end of a rectangular frame which expands and flattens out at the other end, where it is broken off. The remainder of the original object might, for instance, have been round or cross-shaped. The fragment was assembled from several parts, at least the loop, a backing sheet for the rectangular section, another sheet merged with it and the three-dimensional decoration described below. The rectangular part of the object is very ornate and decorated three-dimensionally with …

Gold circular band: this band is formed of hammered gold with a rough concave interior, suggesting that it was intended as a mount of some kind, rather than a finger ring. In the absence of any context or distinguishing stylistic features, this item is undatable.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This small ring is formed of a simple plaited band. It is likely to be post-medieval in date, but in the absence of any parallels in the British Museum, there is no evidence to confirm that it is more than 300 years old. Consequently, as the ring cannot be securely dated to pre-1706 it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

Description: An early Anglo-Saxon circular gold setting, now incomplete, distorted and damaged. The outer edge is surrounded by a triple frame: A plain gold strip, now largely squashed, is set inside a very fine beaded wire ring and the outer edge of the object is then framed by twisted beaded wires. The centre of the setting is now empty. The back-plate, now slightly warped, is round and plain. In its centre there is a roughly rectangular slot with torn edges. It will have had to do with the means of attachment of the setting. In addition, there are four small rivet holes around the …
