Description: The round pendant has a border formed by two strands of pleated wires set alongside each other, giving the impression of a gold filigree plait. Four additional plaits form arches from the border inwards and touch a fifth plait, which is framing a central setting.

Description: Gold necklace pendant inlaid with a garnet. The pendant is composed of a thin squared back-plate with rounded corners whose contours are closely followed by a frame of heavy beaded wire. This surrounds a square collet made from a strip of gold whose ends overlap beneath/below the suspension loop. The cell holds a square-cut plate garnet whose surface is slightly damaged. The garnet appears to be set over decayed silver foil. The ribbed suspension loop is poorly cut to a point to the back where it is soldered to the back plate. The front of the loop is displaced from its or…

Medieval gold pendant. A rectangular gold pendant with a suspension loop at the top and projecting pins at three of the corners. The fourth pin has been pushed inside the pendant. One side is crudely engraved with the head of Christ and the other with a half-length image of Christ as the Man of Sorrows. The pins are likely to have been designed to hold pearls, which have perished in the ground. Metal analysis conducted at the British Museum established the gold content to be 83% gold. Dimensions: 10mm x 12mm

Sheet gold element, the sheet joined to form a cylindrical hollow form with projecting lobes, separated by engraved grooves, then twisted. A suspension loop added at one end; the remains of a similar loop at the other. The surface has been carefully tooled and worked and may show keying for enamelled decoration, now missing. The object is made from very high carat gold but is very hard to interpret. The large rather crude loop is unusual for a piece of jewellery but the object was clearly designed to be hung and if there was a second loop at the other end it might have formed a cha…
