Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A gold Bronze age bracelet. In its current form, this is a roughly annular band with a small overlap. One end is a slightly thickened terminal of thin crescentic shape, the other is a thin, wavy edge most likely the product of the reworking of a broken end. It can be assumed that the original form was a penannular bracelet with two matching thickened terminals and a broad gently C-shaped band section, which survives in the reworked form. Remodelling after the loss of one terminal involved pulling the two ends together to overlap and tying them together with a thread (not surviving) pa…

Record ID: HAMP-AEA895
Object type: SHEET
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Bronze age strip of sheet gold which long, cigar shaped with squared off terminals. At either end is a set of three small perforations set in a triangle. These are roughly circular piercings with evidence for rotational action in their formation; the tiny lips of metal pushed through to the reverse have been crudely doubled back and flattened. There is no evidence for decoration. The strip has many transverse creases consistent with it having been rolled up and crushed flat (see above circumstances). The main additional damage is a repeating pattern of rounded hammer dents of varied…

Record ID: HAMP-AFAF41
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
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…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A late Anglo-Saxon three-dimensional silver finial/strap-end, broken at one end. From a sub-rectangular plate with two fixing holes depends a small rounded animal head which bites into the top of the head of a backward-looking canine creature, which in turns appears to bite another ill defined creature attacking its rump. The tail of another creature is visible at the broken end of the piece. The finial/strap-end is in the so-called Winchester style, with similar lively animals represented in 10th century manuscript borders and metalwork

Record ID: HAMP-58D960
Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A small silver Anglo-Saxon hooked-tag, of round, delicate shape. The hook, now twisted, depends from a round plate with two attachment holes (one blocked by deposited dirt). The back of the plate is plain, whilst the front, which is rather worn, has what appears to be a zoomorphic decoration within a plain border. This seems to consist of a beast with vegetation motifs emerging from his open jaws; further not easily identifiable details /space fillers are also present. Originally the decoration would have stood out against a black niello background.

Record ID: HAMP-6B6AB6
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A broken strip of gold, possibly from a finger ring, possibly intended to be used as bullion. The inner surface is smooth, whilst the outer has a series of mouldings. These include two opposed possible snake heads on either side of a flat oval section (the bezel?), and other crude rectangular block motifs. There are also a series of file marks along one of the edges, which do not appear to be ancient.
