Record ID: NARC-FBDCC4
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
A band of copper-alloy bent out of shape, now forming a crude figure 8. The ring would presumably have been circular originally. It is very crude and it is unlikely that this would have been worn as a finger ring. It is 2 mm wide and 0.5 mm thick. It is more likely that this formed some form of an attachment ring. Such crude copper-alloy rings are very difficult to date.

A cast copper alloy crossbow brooch (length: 62.5mm; width at wings: 46mm; thickness at arched bow: 9mm; weight:32.15g). A large and heavy brooch with wings decorated with incised ridge designs running four times down the wings' length in between the end knobs and where the central knob would have been. At each end of the wings, there are very characteristic onion-shaped knobs with deep hollowed holes facing out from the front of the bow where there may have been enamel originally (of which there is no trace). It does appear that these cavities where designed for decoration. In the…

Silver dress hook, cast in the form of a scallop shell. At the base of the shell is a recurving hook for attachment; opposite this, a small attachment loop on the edge of the shell, two further loops at the base of the hook. Reverse plain. Length: 2.9mm. 15th-16thCentury. The hook is in one plane, and can be compared with similar dress hooks cast in copper-alloy. Silver versions appear to be relatively rare survivals.

Cast solid copper-alloy end-cap from a knife handle, in the shape of an animal's head. The underside of the end-cap has a narrow slot for the tang.

On the top of the head, at the back, is a depression which may have been intended to form the gap between two ears. There is a projecting muzzle (or beak?) but features such as eyes are not picked out. The end-cap is small; the length from base …
