Record ID: BM-F489B0
Object type: EAR RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of gold jewellery, possibly part of an earring dating to the Roman period. The fragment comprises a flat sheet of gold which has been folded and is approximately semi-circular in plan. The fragment measures 4mm in length, 6mm in width and 0.5mm in thickness. The fragment weighs 0.1 grams. Its shape may suggest that it is part of an Allason-Jones Type 13 earring of single or double boss type, dating to the first or second century AD (Allason-Jones 1989, 10). However, it is too fragmentary to identify with any certainty.

A gold earring dating to the Roman period. The earring comprises a body which is circular in plan and lentoidal section. The body is formed from gold sheet and appears to be hollow.

The upper surface of the plate appears to be decorated with three longitudinal ribs. On the reverse of the plate are two gold suspension loops. Each loop is formed from a strip of gold wire which is rectangular in section. These would have been used to suspend two wire chains which would t…
