Record ID: NMS177
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Roman openwork gold finger-ring, now flattened, but not otherwise damaged. The hoop consists of two square-sectioned wires giving a width of 6-7mm, joined with a series of tightly-coiled C-shaped volutes also in square wire. There are ten of these, facing inward at the bezel from the centre back. The bezel is backed with a rather rough square of gold sheet and is virtually circular; there are four small gold grains where the hoop wires are attached. The setting is about 7mm in diameter, and contains a cabochon-cut garnet with an almost flat surface. The ring appears to be late Roman, …

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy harness fitting, consisting of an attachment bar and a rectangular loop. The attachment bar measures 16 x 7 mm, and is a low triangle in cross-section. On the flat reverse are two integral rivets with burred-over ends. Projecting from the centre of one of the long edges is a circular loop, 8.5 mm in external diameter, which is probably decorative. At the other end of this circular loop is a rectangular loop which may have functioned as a strap-slide; this is turned through 90 degrees to the rest of the mount. The front and bottom sides of this loop have a similar low tria…

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Silver annular brooch. The frame is oval, 20 x 16.5mm (perhaps distorted), and angled; it is thickened on the underside, either side of the pin constriction, with slight transverse ridges flanking the pin constriction on the front. Flattened D-sectioned pin.
Published in TAR 2000, no. 122, without illustration, and with a 13th-century date. The description, with its transverse ridges flanking a pin construction, sounds however more like a post-medieval annular brooch of the kind which often have makers' marks; compare GLO-E7A921, KENT-589DC5 etc. The date-range has accordingly be…

Silver hooked tag, one pierced attachment lobe and the hook missing. The plate is circular (diameter 17mm) and a dome-headed rivet passes through the centre. An equal- and expanding armed cross is made from four arcs set within an engraved circular border. The triangular arms of the cross are decorated with fine dots (known as speckling or pecking) and the spaces between them are occupied by four shield-shaped fields containing an engraved design of a pair of leaves sitting on a semi-circle base; the design resembles a fleur-de-lis. Niello inlay remains in many of the engraved lines. …

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Roman silver finger-ring fragment, with small nicolo paste gem set in silver bezel with angled walls; narrow hoop now lost. The motif depicts a male figure with one foot raised to rest on a support which is not represented. One lowered arm is probably concealed in a fold of drapery, while the other arm is raised and a small animal is held aloft. The type is Neptune, his foot on a prow, holding a fish or small dolphin. What little remains of the ring suggests a 2nd-3rd century date. Though the gem is of small size and there are imperfections in the glass, the engraving is competent, an…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
Gold finger-ring, complete but bent. The slender hoop (2mm wide) is triangular in section, and each of the upper faces is engraved with lettering between four square bosses; the least worn of these has engraved decoration of a quatrefoil with a central circle. It is possible that the lettering should be read along one face to the boss, then back along the other face, and so there are 5 words or phrases. Only those on the shoulders are clear enough to read; one seems to say +AV [boss] MIE and the other +AM [boss] IA. James Robinson has seen the ring and feels that the lettering was pro…

Large copper-alloy buckle frame with integral plate. The frame is oval and 28 mm wide, with a large straight roll-moulding along the outer edge which projects a little to either side.

It has a pin hole and two complete rivet holes, all blocked with iron corrosion, and is broken at two further rivet holes. The break is old and worn. There are a lot of rivet holes for so short a length of plate (c. 15 mm) and the two iron rivets may possibly be re…
