Copper-alloy bar from an early Anglo-Saxon sleeve-clasp. In the centre are two pairs of transverse grooves with a pair of semi-circular indentations ('notches') in between, together forming a square panel. Above and below this there are rectangular panels with bevelled edges, running to square panels at the terminals. Each of these has traces of transverse lines obscured by a corroded iron rivet.

Early Saxon silver gilt wrist-clasp hook-plate of Hines form C3. The hook itself is missing. Its scar at the break, flush with the front edge, is rather smooth, and may have been deliberately filed flat. On the rear edge two T-shaped spigots served to attach the clasp to the garment. On the front chip-carved ornament consists of two symmetrically arranged Style I animals between scroll motifs near the sides. A small roundel lies just in front of both spigots. In the centre a large mask motif faces to the rear. About half a larger but less prominent roundel survives in front of the hea…
