Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy object, most likely a finger ring of unknown date. The ring has a bezel which is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section with a thickness of c. 1.5-2mm. It is curved in profile, which may be a combination of its original shape to fit the curvature of a finger, and post-depositional distortion. At one end, this has a rounded edge which may represent a terminal break. At the other end, it narrows steeply towards a thin hoop, c. 1.5-1.8mm wide. The hoop is heavily distorted and curved back on itself. At the opposite end, it widens again sharply to a small s…

A fragment of an Early Medieval cast copper alloy openwork strap end, dating from AD 875 - 1100. It can be classified as Thomas' Class E. Only part of the middle survives.

Copper alloy disc. A small cast flat-sided disc, probably cut to its final shape, with a central drilled hole of diameter 2mm, surrounded on one side by four symmetrically disposed blind pits of slightly smaller diameter. This might have functioned as a mount, or perhaps as the separate head of a pin. A range of flat mounts is reported from medieval London and many remain attached to belts, though the ‘decorative’ scheme is odd here and the central fixing point excessively wide, and few medieval mounts are as chunky and simple in form (Egan and Pritchard 1991). The range of…
