Silver grosso of Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), Rome, 1492-1503, adapted by the cutting out of a disc from the centre of the coin.

The fashion for making annular brooches out of coins seems to have died out long before the last decade of the 15th century when this grosso was struck. It is probable that another function was intended for this large silver washer but wha…

The front of the mount, which has high, curved sides, is decorated in relief, the higher-relief sections of the design inlaid with niello and the lower-relief sections gilded. The selective gilding appears to be deliberate, rather than the result of wear on the higher relief elements of the design.

Late Saxon mount. Slightly domed copper alloy disc, becoming thinner towards the edge, with four evenly spaced sub-triangular apertures disclosing an equal-armed cross within a circle, and a central blind hole on the convex face. Part of the edge is missing. Very worn, and corroded. There are traces of an unidentified white substance on all four arms of the cross on the reverse, perhaps solder, but no other trace of fittings or means of attachment. Perhaps a large brooch, the originally soldered catch-plate and pin-lug now missing. Not substantial enough to be a strap-distributor. Pro…

Description: Early Anglo-Saxon incomplete cast gilded silver mount, possibly part of a sword pommel. Triangular in cross-section, hollow on the underside, with one closed end surviving, but broken before the other end; the break is neither particularly fresh nor particularly worn. The object is shaped like a prism, with the apex straight across the top of the object; while the lower edge, if originally symmetrical, is bi-concave (one curve survives and the lower edge slopes up to probably begin another). The closed end is straight and, apart from gilding, is flat and undecorated. …

Flat object made from a piece of sheet silver, with gold foil applied to one face. It is approximately triangular, with a wide lozengiform terminal at the apex; just below this, at the narrowest point, it has been bent and re-straightened, causing stress to the metal which has resulted in the loss of some gold foil from the front and some grey surface from the reverse. The base of the triangle is curved and has a ridge (hollow on the reverse) following this curve just above the edge; it looks as if it was designed to fit around a circular central plate or boss. The gilding continues r…

Cast silver belt mount in the form of a sexfoil, flat with a central round aperture and two integral rivets on the reverse. Sexfoil mounts were commonly made in copper and lead/tin alloys (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 186-92), but rarely in silver. Date: 14th - 15th century. The age and precious metal content of this item therefore qualify it as treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
