An incomplete circular gold and garnet setting. It comprises a circular gold sheet back-plate to which has been soldered a domed framework of cells, made from upright strips of gold sheet. The framework has a central circular cell, which connects to three outer semi-circular cells. Between two of these is a straight cell wall, two more of which are probably missing from between the other semi-circular cells. All are now empty. A filigree collar, made from two strands of worn beaded wire, masks the junction between the back-plate and the framework.

County: Warwickshire

Description: A complete biconical gold bead. The object has a central aperture running along the longest axis. There are several circumferential lines along the body of the bead, suggestive of its manufacture out of wire and since worn smooth, rather than made through wear.

Discussion: A number of biconical gold beads have been recorded on the PAS database, the majority of which have been constructed out of coils of beaded or unbeaded gold wire. Such examples include unbeaded gold wire beads from Cumnor in Oxfordshire…

A gold Anglo-Saxon thrymsa dating c.655 - c.675. The obverse shows a bust right with two symbols in front of the face. The upper symbol appears to be a cross with a line across the base, the lower a large 'Z' reversed. It would seem that the coin was edged on the obverse by a ring of closely set pellets, however more than half of these are missing which is suggestive that the edges of the coin might have been clipped. The body/shoulders of the bust are adorned with clothing or armour shown by the presence of closely set pellets. The bust is shown wearing a tightly fitting hat o…

Two Early Medieval gold tremisses dating between the sixth and seventh century. One Early Medieval spearhead possibly dating between the fifth and sixth centuries but possibly even later.
Spearhead - An early medieval iron spearhead with a split socket. The blade is corroded but stable, long and tapers towards the tip, which is bent back to form a C-shaped bend. It is unclear if this is deliberate or caused by damage. There is a central midrib feature visible on both sides of the blade (particularly at the widest point), and runs throughout the length of the blade from tip to socket. …
