Description: A rolled fragment from a gold bracelet dating to the Middle Bronze Age c.1400-1100 cal BC. The bracelet is made from a single rectangular gold sheet whose section is possibly slightly crescent shaped with a convex outer surface and concave inner surface. The long outer edges of the sheet are also slightly expanded. This has been tightly rolled down its length over 450 degrees. One terminal is at the centre of the spiral so that it is not possible to determine if it was broken or represents the original end however it clearly ends with a clean transverse edge. The opposite…

An incomplete cast copper alloy artefact, probably a bracelet or small arm ring, date uncertain. Sub-circular in plan, the frame is a shallow D shape and tapers towards old breaks at both ends. One end has been bent inwards from an incomplete break at 23mm from the end. Both surfaces appear to be undecorated but there is good evidence of bronze gilding amongst the green-brown surface patination. The bracelet is 69.7mm at its widest and weighs 61.8g. The frame is 15.47mm at its widest, tapering to 8.89mm and 8.98mm at the breaks. With no diagnostic style of terminals to assist in…

A complete copper-alloy annular bracelet/arm-ring probably of Bronze Age date 1400 - 1300 BC. The Liss-type bracelet is solid and oval in section and in good condition with brown patina. The body is decorated with incised or engraved panels which are relatively deep and have been applied with some degree of care. The complex decoration comprises of panels of lines or rows of stacked chevrons creating a herringbone pattern separated by 'dividing' sections of 10 or more lines of vertical bands (to the circumference of the bracelet-arming). The three central panels are comprised of 8 or …

Bronze Age copper alloy ring fragment from a bracelet or arm ring. It is sub oval in section. It appears undecorated but on one side there are two faint incised diagonal lines 7mm and 11mm from one end (the left end on the image) of the fragment. There is also a 3.5mm long horizontal incised line on the outer edge that starts at the break. The break itself is much cleaner than at the other end. There are three short horizontal scars on the inside of the bracelet. These look like they are either attempts to cut the bracelet with a chisel or where material has been removed to assist in …

An incomplete copper alloy bracelet/arm ring possibly dating to the Middle Bronze Age (c. 1500 - 1150 BC). Only half of the bracelet survives with both ends terminating in an old break. It is plain and circular in cross-section. The bracelet narrows to a slightly thinner end. One end is 10.9mm in diameter and the other end is 8.5mm in diameter. The bracelet has green and almost black patina with some brown patches. There are scratch marks which could possibly be due to over cleaning. The bracelet is 77.4mm long, 11.1mm maximum thickness, and weighs 78g. Similar bracelets can be …

Two Late Bronze Age gold penannular bracelets, in a style similar in appearance to torcs. The smaller of the two bracelets weighs 57.24g. The band forms an open oval shape measuring 69.4mm x 53.1mm. The band has a 'D' shaped cross-section, convex on the outer surface and flat veering to slightly concave on the inner surface. At the centre of the artefact the band measures width 10.6mm x thickness 2.6mm. The bracelet has expanded D-shaped terminals, of c.12.1mm (and 12.2mm) by 8.6mm (and 8.7mm). The larger of the two bracelets weighs 138.94g. The band forms an open oval shape…

A complete copper alloy bracelet of probable Middle Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age date. The bracelet is formed from a single bar of copper alloy that has been twisted to create a spiralling effect around much of its length. Towards the two terminal ends the wire is not twisted and instead is a short length of rectangular section. The terminals are hooked allowing the bracelet to be joined together. The wire terminates in a point on each terminal hook. Althogh now slightly distorted, it is evident that the closed diameter of the bracelet would have been very small. Spiral torcs are …

Late Bronze age gold bracelets, 1000-700BC. The bracelets have an ovoid cross section and are pennanular in form, flaring out into flat circular terminals, one is slightly larger than the other. The bracelets were found on seperate occasions in the same garden, the first was found whilst gardening and the second by chickens digging. Once the second was was found they were submitted as 'Treasure Trove'

A complete gold penannular bracelet of possible Bronze Age date 1500-900BC. The bracelet is formed of a single continuous thick wire that has been formed into loops at the terminals and doubled back on itself. The wire has been soldered along its length to join the two parallel wires together, though there is a gap where the solder has failed. The terminal loops are slightly flattened at their tip. There are some scratches and striation on the metal possibly due to cleaning or deposition damage rather than decorative or manufacturing processes. The Bracelet would have had a relativ…

The find consists of two fragments of gold ‘bracelet’-length piece of gold with rectangular cross-section. The bar has been twisted and probably represents twisted decoration but the twist is not regular and we cannot be entirely certain whether this was the case when worn or whether it is a later distortion prior to deposition. It seems more likely, on the balance of probability and comparison, that it was indeed twisted and later distortion has taken place. One terminal is more clearly finished and has a circular cross-section, the other term is more make-shift and probably does…

An incomplete possible Bronze Age copper alloy annular or penannular bracelet. The object is now folded in two and the band has corroded. It is possible that it has broken but in its current condition it is also possible it was a penannular design. It has a D shape section band and there is no visible decoration to the surface, the copper alloy has a dark olive green patination. When complete the bracelet would have been quite small in diameter. The band is a relatively regular width and thickness along its length, save for a small area where corrosion has narrowed the band considerab…

A fragment of a cast copper-alloy 'Sussex Loop' bracelet of Middle Bronze Age date, c. 1400-1250 BC. The fragment consists of one-half of one of the double loop strands, which is lozenge-shaped in cross-section and terminates in the flattened sub-oval terminal hook, which would have fitted the arm band to the other looped element of the bracelet. The apex of the lozenge cross-section has been decorated with small incised lines, positioned slightly obliquely across the apex. The terminal end has been further decorated with two other raised ridges flanking the central apex mentioned abo…

Late Bronze Age gold bracelet fragment, 45 mm long 11mm wide and 1mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 13.95 grams. The object consists of a solid sub-circular terminal 9.5mm long and 8mm wide. Below this the object has a rectangular form which widens and flattens sharply out to a terminal which appears to have been broken, as though ripped. The fragment begins with a width of 8mm and widens and flattens to 11mm where it has broken. The underside of the shaft is concave, which is most pronounced near the terminal and its upper side remains slightly rounded. Discussi…

Fragment of a Late Bronze Age copper alloy penannular bracelet. At the broken end the cross-section is rectangular. From this the object curves, narrows and thickens to two encircling low ribs before a buffer terminal. The surfaces and the fracture are stained a dull brown. The form is quite close to that of gold examples such as PAS-B9D6E5 and NMGW-E48854. Length 30.5mm. 12 x 3.2mm at the break, 6 x 4.5mm before the terminal, diameter of terminal 10mm. The diameter of the complete object cannot be estimated with any confidence. Weight 8.63g. c.1000 - c.700 BC.

A folded fragment of a Middle Bronze Age gold bracelet or ring with a bundle of compressed gold ribbons wedged within the fold. (c. 1500-c. 1100 BC). Treasure case no. 2014 T15. The object is largely sub-rectangular in plan, rectangular in cross-section and has been folded widthways through c. 180°. The narrow end is in the form of a hook-like terminal and is square in cross-section. The sides flare outwards from the hook to form a 'tab' with a break at the end. Part of the break is uneven and probably accidental and the other part has been deliberately chopped obliquely. Both fac…
