A gold 'bulla' pendant of early Anglo-Saxon date. The pendant is circular with a domed centre. The reverse was also domed, but both faces are now dented. A suspension loop is wide and flat and is decorated with two longitudinal grooves, leaving the edges and the centre of the strip raised. The pendant was made from a single piece of sheet metal which was cut into the shape of two circular discs joined by the band now forming the suspension loop. It is likely the grooves on the loop were added next, along with the domes being formed, and then the loop was bent round a form, bringing th…

Detached circular gold and garnet setting. The object has a gold backplate to which is soldered three concentric beaded wires; the outer and inner are very finely beaded and the central wire has larger beads. This is a common arrangement for Anglo-Saxon filigree. Within the innermost beaded ring is a plain collar which rises up the sides and slightly over the top of a circular garnet. This is dirty, and although the flash of the flat top of the garnet can be seen, it is impossible to see if there is a foil beneath. The backplate is featureless apart from a central roughly circular rec…
