A gold finger ring, a hoop of square-sectioned wire which tapers towards a union formed by ends crossed over and twisted around the opposite end, forming a knot (diameter: 25mm, thickness: 2.8mm; weight: 2.31g). The hoop is somewhat distorted, and the thickness of the ring varies. Overall, the ring is slightly worn and in a good condition. A similar example from Colchester is illustrated in Crummy (1983, 47-8, ref no 1756), but this is copper-alloy and has a circular cross-section with large knot. The wire form of the ring is also close to the style of bracelets. A very similar exa…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Setting from an Anglo-Saxon composite disc brooch. The setting appears to consist of a dome of white material, with a band of gold ropework running around its diameter. Four strips of gold ropework run from this band up towards the centre of the dome, which has a circular setting of similar ropework, which may have formed a setting for a gem stone (now missing). This object has been identified from a photograph only, but clearly represents a central setting of Avent's Class 4 (Avent 1975). Similar central settings occur on composite disc brooches from Milton, Monkton, Sarre and Favers…
