Fragment of a single loop buckle with an ornate outer edge surviving of what was probably an oval frame with a narrowed and offset strap bar. The curved frame that is ovate in section has two moulded lentoid knops flanking a sheet copper alloy roller with engraved transverse grooves. The roller no longer moves around this recessed section of the frame, but would have originally done so and allowed the pin to rest on it. The pin, the rest of the buckle frame and the plate that would have attached to the buckle and to a strap are all missing. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar bu…

A complete Roman cast lead throwing die of unknown date (AD 43-1800). The six-sided die is cuboid in form and has sharp edges and corners. The sides (or faces) are flat and bear holes in numeric values of one to six which appear to have been drilled. The holes have been drilled in a non-conventional manner and the sides have not been organised in the standard 'seven' system, where the total of the holes on opposing sides add up to seven. One is opposite two, three is opposite four and five is opposite six. This die is grey overall. Length: 9.0mm; width: 8.5mm; thickness: 7.8m…

Incomplete cast copper alloy sub-annular shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame has ten conjoined circular convex roundels and the two largest are above each of the spindle holes which retain the ends of the iron spindle, now mainly missing. The sheet chape that would have attached to the spindle is also missing. The base of the frame is internally bevelled at quite at angle and also slightly externally bevelled at a shallow angle. Much of the surface of the frame retains its layer of tinning, and there is some iron oxide on the roundels around the …

County: Gateshead
Workflow stage: Published
A medieval gold finger-ring, with a four-cusped setting containing a transparent imitation 'gemstone'. The hoop is stirrup-shaped and the shoulders are each engraved with panels of foliate decoration. The hoop is slender and slightly bent. The ring probably dates to the 14th or 15th century. Analysis at the British Museum has shown that it is made of gold, and that the 'gemstone' is probably made of glass. The ring weighs 2.7grams, and the diameter is 21mm.

A medieval gold finger-ring, with a raised octagonal fluted bezel set with an oval turquoise. The slender hoop is D-shaped, and slightly distorted. The ring probably dates to the 14th century. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the ring at the British Museum indicates a gold content of approximately 83%. The stone has been identified by Raman Microscopy as turquoise. The ring weighs 2.23 grams. The form of this ring is unusual. The closest comparable example is a ring in the British Museum with a hexagonal bezel set with an emerald, but on this ring the bezel is bevell…

A medieval finger-ring set with a garnet. The slender hoop is triangular in section creating two distinct registers which carry a complicated inscription, the meaning of which is not clear. The inscription seems to begin (and end?) with a cross. Thereafter letters are reversed and inverted in a very confusing fashion. It is punctuated with colons and divided by three evenly spaced four-petalled flowers. The top register reads: + I : E S (reversed): (the following letters are then inverted) FLVR: V I (flower) V I F L (reversed) V (flower ) I E: S + The bottom register reads: I F …

Cast copper alloy double-looped rectangular buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle. The frame has an angled profile with raised moulded knops above each of the spindle holes which retain the two ends of the spindle, now mainly missing. The outer edges of the frame are scalloped and inside the two sides of the frame, at each end of the upper and lower arms, are moulded ovate knops, defined by transverse incised lines. There may also be a pattern on the upper face of the outer edges of the frame, but the surface is worn and corroded so that the design is unclear. Whitehea…

Cast copper alloy double-looped oval buckle frame with moulded trilobed outer edges and knopped circular lobes at either end of the strap bar. Each of the three lobes on both outer edges has a moulded longitudinal central groove which seems to expand at the terminus, creating a leaf-effect, but the surface is too corroded to make out the detail of the design. The moulded lobes at either end of the strap bar have slightly recessed spherical knops extending outwards, away from the frame, but one has almost worn away. The frame is internally bevelled and the strap bar is narrowed and rec…
