Treasure report from B.M. Ager: Gold arm ring, cut through and partly straightened into a curved L-shape, but otherwise complete; length, 260 mm (total); diameter, 15 mm at centre and 6 mm at ends. It is made of two thick, round rods with beaded wires between them, twisted into a cable and tapering to the ends. The original ends (now together at one end of the cable because of the cut) are joined to a plain, polyhedral knob and are closely bound with plain wires on either side of it. The beaded wires of the cable show girth grooves round many of the 'beads', which were caused in …

Treasure case 2013 T628 - Anglo-Saxon gold bracteate and gold armlet Discovery: Both objects were found in the ploughsoil whilst metal-detectoring a field in which previously already 4 gold bracteates and a copper alloy bracelet in three fragments had been discovered. The new bracteate was found within an area of 10 square metres in which two A-bracteates and a B-bracteate (2009T657 and 2011T657) had been found. The location of the first B-bracteate (2004T297) from the same field has not been recorded with similar precision (Behr 2010). The gold armlet has been found ca 30 metres s…

A plain and elongate gold strip with near parallel sides. One terminal survives, while the other has been torn around 4-7mm from the end. The surviving terminal is loosely folded over, with an external width of 3.5-5mm. The terminal tapers gradually beyond the fold-over, with a flat but slightly convex shaped end and rounded corners. An offset crease, parallel to the terminal-end is visible 2.2-2.5mm from the edge, the strip terminal also being pinched and thinned beyond the crease. Approximately 4mm from the terminal, a pin-hole approximately 0.8mm in diameter perforates the strip. D…

A broad flat strip of gold which has been folded into four. Both ends, one folded inside, appear to be ragged cuts, so the object was originally longer in both directions. The long sides are neatly finished, one convex, the other concave, which would have made the strip crescentic before folding. The strip is ornamented with a simple line of closely set punched dots set along the medial line, concentric with the curved edges. It is probably late Bronze Age in date, although a date earlier in the Bronze Age can not be overlooked.

Description A crumpled and torn fragment of sheet gold with engraved geometric decoration comprising three bands of double zigzags separated by two plain zones; the zones are each bounded by three longitudinal engraved lines and the edges by four. The decoration is well executed. Two straight edges are present and these appear to be parallel. Maximum dimensions: Length 25.5mm; Width 12.2mm; Thickness 0.1mm; Weight 1.35 grams. The width when intact would be approximately 22mm. Analysis: Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface of a fragment of sheet gold ornament wi…

A Late Bronze Age (c.1150-750 BC) solid gold penannular armlet or bracelet with a roughly circular cross-section and expanded, dished terminals. At the centre of the bracelet the cross-section measures 7.4x7.1mm. This begins to expand c.14mm before the terminals, widening to 10.2mm before the terminal flares over c.5mm to c.15mm in diameter at the very end (the internal diameter measuring c.13mm). One of the terminals is bent upwards, away from the other. Both terminals are angled at c.45 degrees and it is unlikely they would abut each other. Both terminals have raised edges c.1mm thi…

Treasure case 2020 T975 Description A mostly complete, but in two pieces, gold armlet dating to the early Bronze Age (c.2100 – 1900 BC). It is decorated with embossed ribs and belongs to the embossed goldwork tradition (see Needham 2000a). The object is formed from a cylindrical band of sheet gold with no visible seams. In cross-section it has a corrugated appearance with eight bulbous embossed ribs, six decorating the body and two forming the rims. The ribs are evenly spaced with flat bands in between. The main body has four central ribs each swelling into lentoid-shaped bosse…

Description: A bent and twisted gold bracelet dating to the Middle Bronze Age c.1400-1100 cal BC. The bracelet is made from a single rectangular gold sheet that is crescent shaped in section with a convex outer surface and concave inner surface.  It was presumably originally curved into a penannular hoop without twists, however, it is now twisted into a spiral consisting of at three turns which is mostly flat in profile. Both ends of the strip end in clean transverse terminals which are slightly expanded. It is not clear whether these terminals represent the original length of …
