Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon gilded copper-alloy rectangular plate, decorated in Salin's Style I and cut down perhaps to form a pendant. The plate has lost its top and lower sections (viewed along its long axis), but the Style I limbs of the two chasing quadrupeds can still be made out. They run around a raised rectangular centre, which is an attempt to imitate the central garnet setting that this group typically displays. The central rectangle has a ridged border, and another ridged border runs around the outside of the Style I relief decoration.
The plate has clearly been b…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete probable mount of late early-medieval date. The mount, the upper part of which only survives, shows a facing animal head with large ears, cut off below the nose.

Object type: STIRRUP
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy sub-triangular stirrup strap mount. The attachment loop and flange are complete. The mount is undecorated and has two circular perforations above the flange. These are slightly out of line with each other. The edges of the triangle are more angular in shape than most mounts of this type. It is possible that this example is a repair or cheaper imitation of the more usual highly decorated examples. The surface has a patchy brown to green patina. This mount dates to the 11th century AD.

Object type: COIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
An important and unusual find of an 8th century, silver Anglo Saxon sceat of 'monitascorum' type. Normally this type has 'MONITA SCORVM' on the obverse, but in this case has the 'DE LVNDONIA' inscription of series L instead. Michael Metcalf, Thrymsas and Sceattas' (Oxford, 1993), p. 435 noted one other specimen of this variant at the time of publication, which he described as a 'unique and highly interesting coin'. If the inscriptions are taken at face value this is an ecclesiastical issue ('Moneta Sanctorum') from London, presumably issued for a bishop of London.
The coin recorded…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Late Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper-alloy openwork unidentified object, decorated in the 'Winchester style' (c.900-1100).
This is the main body of the object.
The object is made of a single piece of very thin sheet. It has been pressed and then folded to form a sub-triangular shape in plan. It has a pointed terminal end, slightly convex sides and a straight incomplete end. In the folded state, one end of the sheet slightly overlaps the other end of the sheet so that its shape was maintained by tension rather the by solder. Each face of the object has groove…
