Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Gold finger-ring, complete but bent. The slender hoop (2mm wide) is triangular in section, and each of the upper faces is engraved with lettering between four square bosses; the least worn of these has engraved decoration of a quatrefoil with a central circle. It is possible that the lettering should be read along one face to the boss, then back along the other face, and so there are 5 words or phrases. Only those on the shoulders are clear enough to read; one seems to say +AV [boss] MIE and the other +AM [boss] IA. James Robinson has seen the ring and feels that the lettering was pro…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
Two rather chunky unidentified objects, apparently an almost identical pair & found 9 m apart. See copy of 1st edition 1:2500 OS map in file. Partly hemispherical or domed, cast, with hollow underside & central circular hole. Each is pierced by fourteen smaller holes & is decorated on the convex face with somewhat crudely incised lines. One object is far more worn than the other, so that on most of the surface, all of the upper part around the central perforation, there is no longer any sign of the decoration. A very pale brown deposit on the inside surface of each object is probably …

Nearly spherical head from a pin, made of gilded copper alloy. From its weight, the pinhead is hollow. It is slightly elongated, and decorated with a small pellet on the top, and two pairs of opposed slanting S-shape spirals on the sides (to give the effect of four spirals around the top half, and four around the bottom half). Each spiral has another small pellet at the centre. At the bottom are three collars made of twisted wire, which decrease in size down to a deep undecorated collar which ends in a ridge. This collar is broken in one place, and this break shows that it appears…
