An incomplete cast copper-alloy unidentified object of probable late early-medieval date. The artefact is broken at both ends. The top end is incomplete, a recess is visible at the break, presumably the cylindrical recess would have accommodated a circular cross-sectioned axis bar. The cylindrical recess is at a one hundred and thirty five degree angle suggesting that the artefact was offset to the bar. The artefact gradually tapers towards a zoomorphic head. The head is depicted through raised mouldings and incisions. Located at the top of the head is a V-shaped incision which is sit…

A late Anglo-Saxon three-dimensional silver finial/strap-end, broken at one end. From a sub-rectangular plate with two fixing holes depends a small rounded animal head which bites into the top of the head of a backward-looking canine creature, which in turns appears to bite another ill defined creature attacking its rump. The tail of another creature is visible at the broken end of the piece. The finial/strap-end is in the so-called Winchester style, with similar lively animals represented in 10th century manuscript borders and metalwork

A corroded and slightly damaged early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end (Thomas Class A). The strap-end made from a solid piece of copper alloy with a split terminal at the attachment end (Th.: 3.7mm). The upper part of the split is cracked as a result of old damage. At the other end of the fold are two perforations which have both abraded through. These are echoed by a pair of perforation on the lower fold; these retained the corroded remnants of iron rivets. There are suggestions of tinning on the back of the artefact. The upper surface of the strap-end is decorated with geometri…

The ingot is short cigar-shaped with a smooth upper surface and a pitted lower one which appears to have been slightly flattened; length, 35mm. A large number of silver ingots of the Viking period have been found mainly in hoards in England, Ireland and the Netherlands, as well as in Scandinavia. Silver ingots from the region of the Danelaw were probably used as bullion in payments or trade transactions. But in southern England, where there was an established Anglo-Saxon coinage, it seems more likely that they were used for casting into items of jewellery, etc. The form and abraded su…

Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A small silver Anglo-Saxon hooked-tag, of round, delicate shape. The hook, now twisted, depends from a round plate with two attachment holes (one blocked by deposited dirt). The back of the plate is plain, whilst the front, which is rather worn, has what appears to be a zoomorphic decoration within a plain border. This seems to consist of a beast with vegetation motifs emerging from his open jaws; further not easily identifiable details /space fillers are also present. Originally the decoration would have stood out against a black niello background.

A slightly corroded, incomplete late early-medieval cast copper-alloy harness link (11th century AD). The object consists of a central plate, semicircular in cross-section, with a flat lower surface. Central on this is a moulded boss extending either side of the plate. It consists of two molded transverse ridges, the boss between has two knopped protrusions flanked by circular incisions in a ring-and-dot motif on the sides. On its lower surface it is concave. The plate would have terminated at both ends in oval loops with three knopped protrusions, one at each cardinal point, one loop…
