Record ID: BM-257960
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
A small fragment of gold sheet was discovered. The fragment clearly is part of a larger object, but unfortunately close examination has proved unable to establish from what object the fragment came. It is impossible to establish the date of the object from which the fragment came. Analysis of the metal content of the fragment was also unable to provide further help in dating the piece. The fragment was found to contain 91% gold. Dr JD Hill Department of Prehistory and Early Europe The British Museum London

Record ID: BM-24C88E
Object type: DRESS FASTENER (DRESS)
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
This is a puzzling piece which has some similarity with 16th century dress fittings, but does not correspond precisely with examples so far recorded in that it is very thin and lightweight. It has a heart‑shaped stamp on the back which may possibly be a maker's mark, but is not one that we have been able to identify. It also has some affinity with traditional ornaments from Continental Europe.
