An incomplete early medieval gold setting containing a domed red cabochon gem, probably a garnet (c.AD580-650). The setting comprises a back-plate made of non-precious metal. This plate exends slightly from the top of the edge of the mount. This plate has been covered with a thin sheet of gold which wraps around the edges and is turned to form a shallow gold collar forming the setting for the cabochon. At the edges of the mount is a beaded border above which is a band of plain gold for the gem setting. The gem is cracked into two pieces extending from the 1 and 7 o'clock positions.
