Silver gilt spoon terminal comprising a small seated animal on a moulded capital. The figure is crudely cast and worn and now resembles a small dog, but the type would seem to be that of the lion sejant affonté even though the animal does not appear to have a mane. Three 15th Century examples of lion sejant spoons are recorded and the type was a popular form made in the West Country in the 16th Century and also in Norwich into the early 17th Century. On balance this example is probably a late 16th Century example but could possibly date from the early 17th Century, perhaps made in No…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
A Medieval finger-ring, complete but distorted. The cusped setting holds a blue stone, probably a sapphire. The hoop is decorated along its two sides with a series of quatrefoils. The back of the hoop is left plain. Inside the hoop is an inscription, which reads: en bon foey The last word is likely to be a version of "foi", which would give the meaning "in good faith". A more substantial gold ring with a turquoise held in a similar setting was found among the jewels deposited with the Fishpool Hoard (BM MME 1967, 12-8, 2). The ring is gold, and dates from the fifteenth century…

Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum identified the metal as brass, with no detectable precious metal. It is therefore not defined as Treasure under the terms of the Act.

Gold foliate accessory. It is made of fine pieces of gold, is broken in places and is therefore very delicate. Within a small circular recess to the front and bottom of this piece is green enamel. The presence of four loops at the corners suggests that it may have been sewn onto fabrics, though it was more than likely part of a necklace or bracelet. It is in the style of 19th-century revivalist jewellery and therefore is not classed as Treasure.

Silver spoon stem with seal-top, gilt and engraved with owner's initials in capitals, perhaps P (or R) L. The stem is broken off at the bowl with an illegible maker's mark on the back of the stem. The stem is also damaged just below the seal-top. Probably early 17th Century. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

Gold finger ring with square bezel, within which is set a stone. There is a slight reddish tint to the surface but non-destructive X-ray analysis has confirmed that this ring has a gold content of 89-92%, which is the equivalent of 22 carat gold. The stone, which is badly cracked, has been identified by Raman spectroscopy as quartz and could be referred to as a faintly banded agate. The d-section hoop expands at the shoulders, forming an openwork pattern of three prongs, all with geometric decoration. The ring weighs 8.84 grams. Stylistic features date this ring to 19th-20th centuries…
