Two gold interlinked bands, possibly earrings, of uncertain date. Curator's report: Two thin gold interlinked bands, rectangular in cross-section, tapering towards hook and eye terminals. Possibly earrings. Discussion: Whilst it is possibly older than 300 years and could therefore qualify as Treasure under the Treasure Act (1996), it is not diagnostic enough to assign to a particular type and period Dimensions: Diameters 7.5 and 9.0mm; Weight: 0.89g. Metal content: The object is made up of 84 - 87 % gold, 10-13 % silver, and 1% copper. Kate Sumnall

TREASURE CASE : 2007 T443 Description of Object A small, hollow, sub-rectangular sheet-gold object with two undecorated planar faces. A ribbed moulding - four ribs defined by three channels - runs around one long and two short sides and a slender tubular perforation, formed by the addition of a strip of gold sheet, occupies the fourth side. The object, which resembles a bulla type pendant, is identifiable as a component of Roman jewellery, probably a bead-like pendant from a composite ear-ring or necklace.

Description: Cast gold annular ear ring. This is roughly sub rectangular in plan with a lozenge-shaped cross-section. The ring is widest at its mid point and tapers towards a point at either terminal, both points overlap by 5mm, but are not fixed together in anyway.

A similar example has been recorded as treasure 2008 T619 and added on to the PAS database ESS-58B950. Length 23mm, width 23mm, thickness 3.4mm, weight 3.9g. In terms of age and as the object c…

Probably a gold Roman ear ring of Allason-Jones type 2e. The ear ring is a loop of gold wire (2.15mm thick). There is a butted joint which may be soldered, or the ring may have originally been penannular. The loop is decorated with incised transverse lines which run right round the wire. The entire loop is covered with these lines. A plainer penannular example of Allason-Jones type 1 is 2010 T287. In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
