Record ID: SF-1114A6
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy finger ring of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The hoop is oval shaped in section with terminals that taper to points and would originally have overlapped to form the ring shape. One terminal is now missing due to old breaks and the ring is currently oval shaped in form with the terminals spread apart due to post-depositional damage. The entire object measures 25.31mm in width, 29.09mm in length, 3.38mm in thickness/diameter and 2.20g in weight. Similar finger rings have been recorded from Suffolk (for example SF-07FB63, SF-450B65 and SF-DE3E03) and su…

A cast copper-alloy finger ring of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The hoop is oval shaped in section with terminals that taper to points and would originally have overlapped to form the ring shape. It is currently slightly oval shaped in form due to post-depositional damage that has also resulted in the removal of much of the original surface. The entire object measures 20.50mm in width, 18.23mm in length, 3.33mm in thickness/diameter and 2.06g in weight. Similar finger rings have been recorded from Suffolk (for example SF-07FB63, SF-450B65 and SF-DE3E03) and suggest a L…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy finger ring of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The hoop is oval shaped in section with terminals that taper to points, which are folded against one another to form the ring shape. All surfaces have extensive wear and corrosion with little of the original patina surviving. The entire object measures 19.23mm in width, 21.30mm in length, 3.52mm in thickness/diameter and 2.64g in weight. Similar finger rings have been recorded from Suffolk (for example SF-07FB63, SF-450B65 and SF-DE3E03) and suggest a Late Anglo-Saxon date for the current example, c.800-11…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper alloy buckle of early-medieval date. The buckle is D-shaped in plan and circular in section with a narrowed and recessed strap bar. The outer edge of the frame is wide and decorated with parallel curved incisions giving a twisted rope-like effect and the pin no longer remains. Where the frame meets the strap bar it terminates in zoomorphic knops which are most probably crude representations of animal heads confronting across the bar. Zoomorphic terminals are a common feature of buckles of this period and are intended to represent some sort of quadruped's head, such a…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Middle Saxon to Late Saxon copper alloy strap end of Thomas 2003 Class A, Type 5 with a scalloped attachment edge. Below the fan-shaped field at the split end the front of the body is divided longitudinally into two cells inlaid with niello now coloured a dull off-white. Of spirals of silver wire that would have been set in the niello only one small curve remains. Inlay in the ears and on the brow of the elongated animal-head terminal has fared similarly. The front face of the split end has split off but remains in situ because it is retained by the two rivets. Length 54.5mm. Width 14…
