Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire

This artefact appears to be a gold-plated silver denarius of the Roman Empress Faustina, which has been mounted for suspension with a silver staple and loop, with the staple attached to the loop with two rivets. Roman coins were quite commonly re-used as pendants in the early Anglo-Saxon period, either simply pierced for suspension or with an attached loop. Occasional gold-plated coin pendants are known from this period. However, this does not appear to be a genuine early medieval artefact, for a number of reasons. Firstly, the coin does not appear to be a genuine denarius of Fau…

A post-medieval silver-gilt dress-hook, with trefoliate back-plate and cusped outline; some losses have occurred to the delicate cusping. Three hemispherical bosses are soldered onto the upper face, one within each lobe of the trefoil. These are each decorated with three filigree circles applied around a central pellet. There is a central perforation at the point where the three bosses meet: this would have taken a separate attachment. Part of the butterfly clip which would have held the attachment in place was also recovered. On the flat reverse the recurving hook remains, soldere…

This is a very heavy ring, with a flat octofoil bezel and square section hoop, angled at the shoulders. The back of the hoop inscribed ROBERT and the side at the back inscribed DUX. It is a puzzling ring as it seems to have borrowed features from earlier periods but the general shape and design has no pre-1706 parallels and the general consensus of opinion is that it is likely to be of relatively recent manufacture.

A 17th century silver head-dress pin, ‘bodkin’ type. Rectangular in plan, tapering to a blunt point, and is hexagonal in cross-section.

Below the broken aperture, on both wide faces, are two incised tranverse lines, below which a succession of two incised ‘V’s or ‘tongues’ tapering in the same direction as the pin. Between them, travelling in the other direction towards the eyelet, are three incised chevrons. The…

A crudely made post-medieval gold finger ring. The hoop is circular and narrows towards the bottom; it is curved in cross-section with the inside of the hoop concave. The square raised bezel has a female portrait facing left, and incuse lettering to either side: the letters appear to be 'RICI' to the left, and 'VI' to the right. Analysis has shown that the ring is composed of 22 carat gold and the ring was reported under the Treasure Act 1996. Although it imitates late Roman rings in its general appearance, it does not do so in any other respect, and there is no evidence from the w…

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval fragment of twisted silver wire with thistle-shaped gilt finial, approximately 4.0 cm long. The object, which has been examined by a number of British Museum curators in different fields, is hard to place and no parallels have yet been found for it. The thistle-shaped terminal is reminiscent of those on late 15th Century silver spoons, but these lack the twisted wire. A tentative dating to the 16th Century is proposed here until further evidence comes to light.

A post-medieval gold finger ring which is formed through a series of vertical rectangles, each keyed to recieve enamel which survives in tiny amounts. Inside is an inscription stating "If you regard its' my reward:" However several letters are cut off at the top and bottom of the hoop, suggesting that the ring must have once been a simple straight-edged hoop, and has been cut down at a later date, perhaps to provide gold for other purposes.

A post-medieval silver broad hoop finger-ring with central raised band within sunken channels, the raised part engraved with geometric decoration and bordered by a dotted line above and below; the inside gilt, the exterior partially gilt. Engraved on the interior is a letter 'T'. There are no precise parallels in the BM, but there is a 15th-century tradition of broad hooped rings with similar central bands within sunken channels and it seems reasonable to see this as a continuation of that tradition. Dalton 881 for example is of similar construction and bears an amuletic inscription…
