Description: A complete gold late Early Medieval finger-ring. It is comprised of two pieces of gold wire which have been twisted together to form a ring.The wires taper in diameter to the ends, which are hammered together to form a narrow, oval-sectioned join.

An incomplete, copper alloy, Early Medieval, zoomorphic, strap end, AD.800-1100. The object is formed of three sections, the uppermost being the attachment point, pierced by a single rivet hole. This is damaged and so only half of the rivet hole remains, upon either side of which are two lobes. This section of the piece tapers down until it meets a transverse double collar. Below this double collar is the midsection of the piece, this is undecorated, though seems to have two faint ridges running down either side. The mid-section is short and is bounded at the bottom by a V shaped dou…
