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.

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…

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: Penannular circular ring of late Bronze Age date, apparently made of gold throughout. The ring is almost circular in cross-section, with a flat facet around the interior. The ends are cleanly made across the thickness, forming a straight narrow gap 1.8mm wide at most. The ends are neat and flat, but cracked slightly implying that the gold may be a thick plating over a core of different material. The ring flares slightly in thickness, from 4.2mm wide and 4.8mm thick at the ends to 4.6mm wide and 5.1mm thick in the centre. The gold is an even co…
