Record ID: SF3598
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object made from copper alloy and iron. It is flattish and consists of a disc with a long pointed projection. The disc is 16 mm in diameter and mainly composed of iron, with a depression in the centre which may once have been a perforation. Around the edge of the disc, at least on one face, is a short length of copper alloy which curves around and then projects out to end in what may be a relief animal head. The poor condition of the object means that it is hard to decide even if the animal head is in profile or full-face; it is just possible that it has been subjecte…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of unidentified object made of copper alloy, perhaps part of a decorative binding ring. Part of a hollow cylinder survives, with a thick triangular projection extending at right angles to the cylinder on the outside. The inside of the cylinder has a brown corrosion that is not found elsewhere on the fragment. The cylinder fragment measures 20 x 15 mm (one of the short edges being a probable original edge); the projection measures 7 x 13 mm at base and is 11 mm tall.

Record ID: SF3529
Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy ring, now broken at one point around the circumference. The section is a smooth oval, 3 x 4 mm, and the diameter is c. 24 mm. There is a polished grey-green patina. The break in the ring is L-shaped, and to one side has caused a longitudinal central split. Because of this, it seems possible that the ring was made by hammering rather than casting, and that a line of weakness remains around the centre. The ring looks old, but is not really datable.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Lead object consisting of an oval ring, 27 x 18 mm, with an 8 mm wide projection coming off the centre of one long side. The projection is 26 mm long, and ends in a chisel-like point with one face corroded and patinated and the other apparently fresh. The entire object has a flat unfinished reverse, and a more rounded shape on the front. It looks a little like a model for a key or similar. Overall length 40 mm.

Object type: METAL WORKING DEBRIS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Small, roughly hemispherical, gold droplet with rounded upper surface and flattish lumpy reverse. The surface is pitted all over. The diameter varies from c. 6 to c. 7 mm and the thickness is c. 4 mm at most. This droplet is undatable; although there is no particular reason to believe that it is over 300 years old, an ancient origin is possible and so it has been recorded.

Copper-alloy ring, circular and of oval section, 21 mm in diameter, and now rather corroded. At one point on the circumference there is a rectilinear moulding which runs around the whole of the section. The moulding is c. 2 mm thick and measures 4 x 5.5 mm. Around the moulding is some thick, well-preserved white-metal coating or, just possibly, solder. Date and function unknown.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Lead alloy disc, 36.5 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick, with a ?copper-alloy tube attached to the reverse, presumably to make the object a mount, and filled with lead alloy. The front of the disc has relief decoration of a triple-strand border around two concentric hexagons both with incurved sides. In the centre of the inner hexagon are six radiating lines. This object has been shown to various curators at the British Museum (Leslie Webster and Susan Youngs of Medieval and Modern Europe, and Gareth Williams and Barrie Cook of Coins and Medals); all agree that it is very unlikely to be a…
