  • Thumbnail image of CORN-3E886F

Record ID: CORN-3E886F
Object type: INGOT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Fragment of a gold ingot, rectangular in plan and rhomboidal in profile, and plano-convex in section. The ingot has been cast and then forged or hammered on two sides. The porosity seen in section at one end is created by the casting and then the ingot has been hit once it was cooled and this end section has cracked away. The opposite end has been sheared off with a blunt 'cold' chisel which has caused the end to expand slightly. So this piece may have come from a longer strip which was used and this fragment kept for future use or left to be melted down in a crucible. From the analys…

Sheet gold hollow annular bead, circular in plan and slightly biconical in profile, but crushed since deposition so that its original form is unclear. The central circular piercing is 4 mm in diameter and the edges of the sheet are open to the inner aperture, but would have originally met and have been forced open from subsequent damage. See HAMP-72E451​​​​​ (2011 T526) for a similar annular sheet gold bead with a shallow biconical profile, from Buriton, Hampshire, and ESS-E87773 (2005 T150) from Harlow, Essex (Treasure Annual Report 2005/6, p.17, no.6), which are both dated…

The core of the sherd has been reduced to a dark brown colour and the exterior and interior surfaces have been oxidised to an orangey-brown colour.
