Description: Circular object made from gilded silver. It consists of a thick, almost-circular disc, with both faces deeply recessed. The front has chip-carved relief decoration of a cross, with each arm made up of a clockwise-turning spiral. There originally appears to have been a small raised three-sided pyramid between each terminal, but only one of these now survives as the others have been largely destroyed by the punching of neat circular holes through them. The three holes thus formed are all about 2mm in diameter, and they have raised edges to both front and reverse. They cut t…

Description: An incomplete gold Anglo Saxon buckle pin of unusual form. The pin is complete and curves downwards whilst tapering gently in width towards its terminal end, it is D-shaped in section, being flat underneath.
