Object type: INTAGLIO
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Roman nicolo intaglio dating to the 1st-2nd century AD. The stone has been cut so that it has an oval outer face with steep sloping sides. The base is also oval shaped but convex. The stone is onyx. Onyx stones with white outer surfaces were carved to create the banded navy/black to light blue seen in this example. The convex shape is consistent with earlier examples of intaglio, with the later markets being dominated by flat cut stones (Zienkiewicz, 1987, 13). The intaglio is decorated with a carved figure standing right, both arms raised and possibly holding accompanying objec…

A fragment of a Medieval / Post Medieval copper alloy vessel. It measures 58.8mm in length, 33.87mm in width and is 3.81mm thick. It weighs 34.75 grams.

While certain specialist cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use later 'bronze cauldrons in general seem to have been superseded in the early years of th…

Object type: INGOT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a gold ingot of probable Early Medieval date. The fragment is sub rectangular and appears to have been part of a larger ingot, seeming to be half of a slice from an ingot of rounded rectangular section. There are facets on three edges, and the corners are rounded. The two main faces appear to be oblique cuts, but half of the face has a spongy texture and appears to have been broken rather than cut. The remaining small face is also a partial cut and partial break across rough textured metal. The fragment can be compared to 2012 T108 and 2013T276.
