TREASURE CASE : 2010 T19 Description: A heavily corroded, dark blue glass stud set in a gold frame and backplate. Inlaid into the glass mass is a copper-alloy, pseudo-cloisonné grid which is clearly imitating garnet cloisonné. The plain, upright gold frame is circled by a beaded gold wire, a section of which is missing. The gold backplate is plain but creased and carrying recent scratches. It shows the remains of what looks like an attachment tab, suggesting that the missing portion of the gold wire rim represents an attachment loop that has torn off. Discussion: Studs of …

ARCHAEOLOGICAL TREASURE CASE : 2009 T506. Discovery: Found in advance of groundworks for a pipeline by Oxford Archaeology North on 9 September 2009.

Description: A single fragment of gold was recovered from subsoil layer 10001 at SPE10. The object can be identified with confidence as part of the bezel of a Viking Age gold ring (C Paterson pers comm), decorated with apparently randomly placed punched triangles each decorated with three p…

TREASURE CASE : 2009 T223 Description: Gold finger ring set with a large blue gemstone and red glass cloisonné. The central cabochon gem is surrounded by four triangular cells. Where these meet, small round cells have been set. Three of these round cells still contain minute granular inlays, although it is impossible to determine whether they are glass pastes, glass or gem stones. A short, straight cell wall emanates from each roundel and meets the corners of the outer, square frame of the bezel, thus bisecting the space between the triangles. Glass slips are still present in on…

Treasure case : 2009 T124 Object Date: 7th century Description: Gold mount Curved gold panel inlaid with garnet cloisonné. A small, gently curving, sub-rectangular tray set inside a cable-twist gold border. Nine garnets on waffered gold foils are inserted into the tray. The back of the mount is plain except for two areas of damage, which are likely to represent previous attachment points. Discussion: It is unclear what kind of object the small mount might have come from. There are numerous possibilities, including large disc brooches (Avent 1975), buckles or sword fittings. Non-destr…

Description: Severely damaged and distorted gold finger ring of tenth-century date. Oval to round hoop narrowing down to a parallel-sided band at both sides.

The bezel carries a central, damaged glass cabochon, (now) dark brown, in a dog-tooth setting surrounded by a fine beaded wire. Around the cabochon, 14 gold pellets - of varying sizes and some of them squashed and abraded - are placed inside beaded wire filigree. Originally, there wa…

A gold finger ring consisting of two rods of square section, which have been twisted together and joined by hammering on the reverse side. The ring is of a similar type to examples from the Late Saxon and Viking periods, from the late 9th Century until c.1100, although these types of ring usually have rods, which has a circular section, particularly in the Viking examples. Gold rings with square section rods occur in the British Isles and may be a local form. The surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicates an approximate gold content for the ring of 91%; it weighs…
