Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk

Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate gold content of 79%. The ingot weighs 58.2 grams. The ingot is in the form of a narrow bar of flattened oval section with roughly rounded ends; length, 76 mm; width, 10 mm; thickness 6 mm. It is fairly smooth on one side and pitted on the other, especially along one edge. The form is typical of gold and silver ingots of varying sizes of the Early Medieval period found in both the British Isles, on the Continent and in Scandinavia, although gold examples are far less common. They were cast in simple, o…

Description: Complete gold ingot, long with rounded ends and oval cross-section. One surface is smooth with a few large dents; the other is pitted with very many small dents. One end is slightly wider and substantially thicker due to a rise in the pitted surface; the smoother surface is fairly flat. The colour is very slightly pale, suggesting a relatively impure gold. Dimensions: Length, 40.9mm. Maximum width, 13.3mm. Maximum thickness, 8.8mm. Weight 37.39g.  Discussion: This ingot is quite distinctive; it is long, with rounded ends and cross-section, o…
