Date: Probably Viking, c. 870-950 Description: Moulded gold bar of roughly D-shaped section, part cut, part broken at each end, tapering towards one end. Smooth on curved edge, rougher on flat edge.

The use of cut fragments of gold and silver as bullion in Viking England was relatively commo…

A gold posy finger-ring inscribed on the inside of the band 'MY Hart and I untell I die'. The finger-ring is in good condition with a circular hoop of 18.5mm external diameter.
