A small gem-set gold pendant comprising a translucent purple oval glass gem, of plano-convex cross-section, set in an oval gold frame 2.3mm wide, encircled by a beaded gold wire. The beading is very neat and regular. There is no backplate to the pendant, allowing the gem to be seen from both faces. The suspension loop, made from a tapered gold strip, is quite rudimentarily attached to the frame and is atypically orientated (running front to back rather than side to side), may have been an ancient repair. The lack of a backplate rules out an early-medieval date and the pendant is proba…

A gold pendant. Treasure reference number 2011 T592. The object is highly decorative and in a good state of preservation. The object is cuboid, hollow and displays damage at one end and also on the base. The cuboid is constructed primarily by three sheets of gold; a rectangular base plate, a long strip of gold angled to form the sides, and a open rectangular top containing a green gem setting. The setting is flat, rectangular and now pushed slightly downwards into the hollow body as a result of damage sustained post-deposition. The sheet gold side panels are stippled and decorated w…

19th century gold spherical bead pendant This pendant is formed of a hollow spherical bead with a triple thread of twisted wire round the centre and lozenges of granulation applied in two rows above and below the twisted wire. The pendant loop is formed of a tube for a chain to pass through, the openings edged with applied wire. The regular placing of the grain work decoration and the form of the pendant loop suggests a date in the 19th century. There is no evidence to date this object pre 1705.

A possible medieval gold hinged book pendant. The two sides of the pendant are rectangular in shape, formed of folded gold sheet which have been stamped with an irregular grid pattern. The two sides of the pendant are attached to a central bar by three coils of gold wire forming a hinge which still functions. At the top of the bar is a multifaceted knop with a hole though the center. Through this hole a gold wire loop is threaded. This loop closes over a suspension loop soldered to the top of the side which would be the front if the pendant were to be opened as a book. When the loop i…

TREASURE CASE : 2004 T291 Description: An Anglo-Saxon gold cross-shaped pendant cut from a sheet of gold. One of the arms is perforated quite near the edge, most probably to allow its use as a pendant. It is of Greek form, with expanding arms of equal length, and the armpits are rounded. It is totally plain and undecorated on both sides, and slightly convex on the 'good side' (the back shows some displaced metal near the cut hole). There are some signs of wear. Dimensions: Length and width 18mm, weight 1.7g. Discussion: The cross is difficult to date exactly due to its …

A gold solidus of the emperor Theodosius I struck at Milan between 378 and 387 (Roman Imperial Coinage vol. IX, no. 5f or 8b). The coin has been fitted with a ribbed suspension loop, also of gold, at the 12 o'clock position on the obverse (6 o'clock on the reverse) in order for it to serve as a pendant.

A gold pendant of the Early Medieval period, late 7th to early 9th century date. The pendant is oval-shaped in plan, and sub-triangular in section. The backing is cut from a separate sheet of gold, and the setting is stepped, pressed from a sheet of gold. There is a twisted cable effect circumscribing two of the steppings, which may or may not be separate elements added to the pendant. In the centre is a circular apperture that would have taken a stone. The top of the pendant has a twisted strip of gold remaining, though incomplete, that would have formed the suspension loop.

Thin and crumpled gold disc missing part of its rim and decorated by three irregular cells formed by gold strips soldered upright onto it. Two of the oblong cells still contain inlays. These are (now) dark and it is difficult to distinguish their material, but they seem to be glass. Further dark material is present on the outside of one of the cells. The disc originally seems to have had an upright rim, now squashed, and there is a tear in the front. The back is plain.
