Gold mourning ring dated 23 September 1805. The ring has a wide hoop, of even width throughout but now crumpled in one place. It is decorated on the exterior with a beaded ridge to top and bottom, two plain ridges within this, and a central band of relief lettering reading ELIZ: SHERMAN. DIED. 23. SEP: 1805. AGED. 81
The stops vary, sometimes colons but mostly central pellets. There is a space-filling motif, probably a rosette or flower, between the start and end of the inscription. Although the lettering is very neat, the workmanship is untidy, with lots of engraving scrat…

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Fragment of gold sheet, probably of the Anglo-Saxon period. The bend is almost at right angles. To one side of the angle, one face is decorated; a triplet of straight grooved lines, the central one minimally wider, starts close to a finished straight edge and runs to a break. The lines are flanked on either side by a scatter of punched annulets (about 1mm in diameter), part-annulets and large dots.
On the other side of the angle, the sheet is undecorated, although it has bends which may have formed a loose corrugation. It has a short length of original edge which mee…

Record ID: NMS-D5565B
Object type: TORC
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Piece of gold rod, probably a small fragment of a flange-twisted or bar-twisted torc with three flanges, now bent into a spiral of two full turns. One end is original, with a rounded tip and neat triangular cross-section. From the rounded tip, the terminal flares slightly for c. 10mm and runs straight, before starting to coil. As it starts to curve, each face becomes concave so that the cross-section is Y-shaped, and the rod is then neatly twisted as well as bent into a coil. After two full turns the rod is apparently cut or broken. It is…

Description: Gold posy ring. The hoop is of even width and D-shaped cross-section throughout, although with some wear. The curved exterior is undecorated, and worn to a matt finish. The flat interior is more glossy, and has the inscription in neat lower-case italic letters: Let vertue be thy guide.
At the end of the inscription is a stamped maker's mark reading SL within an oval cartouche; it has been stamped so that it is the right way up when the inscription is upside down. The thicker parts of both letters are double-stranded, and there are two small points on the re…
