Gold ornamental ring from Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds This gold ring, found apparently in 1887, is formed of a central cross within a lobed frame. The back of the bezel is flat. In the absence of any comparable pieces in the British Museum collections it has not proved possible to identify the age and origins of this ring. In these circumstances, there is not enough evidence to show that it is more than 300 years old. As this find was discovered pre-1997 we must evaluate it under Treasure Trove laws rather than the Treasure Act 1996. Under Treasure Trove, evidence would have to point to th…

Detached circular gold and garnet setting. The object has a gold backplate to which is soldered three concentric beaded wires; the outer and inner are very finely beaded and the central wire has larger beads. This is a common arrangement for Anglo-Saxon filigree. Within the innermost beaded ring is a plain collar which rises up the sides and slightly over the top of a circular garnet. This is dirty, and although the flash of the flat top of the garnet can be seen, it is impossible to see if there is a foil beneath. The backplate is featureless apart from a central roughly circular rec…

Workflow stage: Published
Gold tongue-shaped front or back plate from a strap-end, buckle plate, or other similar object. There are two empty rivet holes at the attachment edge and a single empty rivet hole at the blunt point. The edges are slightly raised on one face, but there are no other traces of decoration. The edges are slightly convex, one more so than the other. This object is similar in shape to early Anglo-Saxon strap-ends (e.g. those from graves 393 and 397 at Morning Thorpe cemetery; Green, Rogerson and White 1987, vol. 2, p. 347, fig.444, G and p. 352, fig.449, M), though these are not…

The Hackney Hoard The 80 coins are all gold 20-dollar pieces (so-called 'double eagles') of the United States, issued between 1854 and 1913. The coins are thus all the same denomination, introduced in this form in 1850, and were struck to the same standard, 90% gold, used from 1837 until the end of US gold coinage in 1933. The catalogue shows that the coins gradually increase in number across the decades from 1870 to 1909 (13 coins from 1870-9; 14 from 1880-89; 18 from 1890-99; and 25 from 1900-9). Over a quarter of the total were issued in the last 6 six years represented. Toget…

Fragment of a gold penannular bracelet, with a thin flat cross-section and an expanded 'buffer' terminal. Found in an unstratified context. Comparable pieces have been found in hoards in Bexley Heath, Kent, Beachy Head, Sussex and Caister, Norfolk (Eogan, 1994, 168-170) and more recently in the Bawdeswell area in Norfolk (TAR, 2005/6, 23, 274, No. 30). A Bronze Age torc was found (and lost again) in the vicinity of Isleworth and recorded as Treasure Trove in the courts of the manor of the abbess of Syon Abbey on 19th October 1467 (Mattingly, 1983, 179).

A separate ribbed gold sheet suspension loop has a loop of beaded wire around the base, the ends of which are tucked inside the loop, hiding the join to the back-plate. The glass is Roman mosaic glass with pink and white forming curved vertical lines, overlaid with green curved transverse lines and yellow and black lines forming a lattice overall.

A fragment of gold filigree from an unidentified object. It has a flat gold sheet backplate, torn along every edge, with a design of one or two incomplete intertwining Style II animals. The bodies of the animal(s) are made from made from 'carpets' of parallel twisted unbeaded wires, set in groups of 6, 7 or 8, generally in pairs to make three or four imitation plaits. There are also some larger-diameter beaded wires, perhaps representing interlacing limbs, and two raised undecorated pear-shaped elements which must represent hips or shoulders. Because the object is incomplete, it is …

Length of gold rod with octagonal cross-section, bifacially cut at one end, the other end having a plain terminal. The piece is bent. Length 85mm; thickness 5mm; weight 2.7 grams. Identification: Analogies occur in the Bronze Age hoard of 42 gold pieces from Fitzleroi Farm, W. Sussex which included a number of elements including small complete rings and fragments of other ornament types. Octagonal- section rods were present. The analysis would be acceptable for a Bronze Age date with the proviso that the silver content is rather high. Given the lack of any datable association it is no…

A small fragment from a possible gold ingot, this object is difficult to date with any certainty without more precise information from the context from which it came, if any. It is probably of prehistoric date and was found in an area well known for both its Neolithic and Early Bronze Age monuments and a series of Iron Age settlements. As such, this item is more than likely a prehistoric object, older than 300 years, and is therefore probably Treasure.

The inlays, presumably garnets and perhaps shell, are now all gone and it is impossible to discern the original shape of the cells. It seems that the layout comprised of a central cell surrounded by other cloisons. A four-stranded frame surrounds this arrangement: The plain cell border is set inside a fine beaded wire; this is followed by a broader ring of twisted wire and another edging of fine beaded wire. The back-plate is round and plain. In its centre there is a hole with torn edges. This hol…
