County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A 17th century silver head-dress pin, ‘bodkin’ type. Rectangular in plan, tapering to a blunt point, and is hexagonal in cross-section. It is now incomplete, as the broader, top end has been lost at the beginning of a rectangular perforation (eyelet), which is now without its top, fourth side. 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…

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.

Object type: INGOT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
The ingot is short cigar-shaped with a smooth upper surface and a pitted lower one which appears to have been slightly flattened; length, 35mm. A large number of silver ingots of the Viking period have been found mainly in hoards in England, Ireland and the Netherlands, as well as in Scandinavia. Silver ingots from the region of the Danelaw were probably used as bullion in payments or trade transactions. But in southern England, where there was an established Anglo-Saxon coinage, it seems more likely that they were used for casting into items of jewellery, etc. The form and abraded su…

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 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…

Penannular gold ring with hoop of circular cross-section; original decorative banding in broad stripes of yellow and paler gold are very worn and best perceptible near inner surface. Roughness of gold at one terminal could be due to damage. The surface is heavily worn; scores and scrapes are likely to have occurred post-depositionally. Visual inspection suggests that the piece comprises a gold covering over a base metal core. Diameter 18-18.5mm; internal diameter 6.5mm; breadth 6.5mm; weight 9.51 grams.
