Object Date: 8th century Description: Finger ring fragments Five fragments of a late Saxon, originally gilt and probably niello-inlaid silver finger ring. All fragments are joining and represent a complete ring with a decorated, rounded bezel. The whole ring is of flat cross-section and the bezel has a fine split in one place. Faint incised, geometric ornament is still visible on the band, which originally overlapped and may have been soldered at the narrowest point; however that join has come apart in antiquity.

Gold finger ring with a slightly misshapen hoop, which broadens at the shoulders to meet the bezel. The bezel is comprised of a rectangular red glass to imitate a precious stone, in a rectangular setting. Arched decoration surrounds the setting. The bezel of this ring has close parallels with 2004 T485 (see Treasure Annual Report 2004, no.369), but this ring is a 19th-century imitation of a medieval-style ring. Therefore, this is classed as not Treasure.

Treasure case No: 2004 T484 Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate silver content for the ingot fragment of 91%; it weighs 17.14 grams.

Miniature lead vessel, probably for use as a toy. This type of jug is one of the most commonly encountered medieval miniatures and they often correspond very closely with full-sized ceramic counterparts. The jug has become quite squashed whilst in the ground but the thin handle survives. There is no cast decoration over the surface of the jug. This type of toy became popular from the late 13th or 14th century onwards, mainly in an urban context, and would have been mass produced like the pilgrim souvenirs common during the same period.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Double-conical lead weight with central vertical perforation, 8.8mm wide. The weight is decorated in high-relief on both sides with a zig-zag line, with a pellet in each angle. This kind of lead weight is a very frequent metal-detecting find, especially on ploughed and pasture land. There is some archaeological evidence for these lead weights to have been used as spindle whorls in the 16th/17th century (pers. comm. Dr Kevin Leahy), but has been suggested that they could also have been used as net sinkers, fishing weights or weight for traps at a somewhat later date.

A cast copper alloy heart shaped chafing dish handle. Chafing dishes were domestic utensils made of metal or earthenware for holding burning charcoal or other combustible material.

The vessels themselves were cast in one piece and finished on a lathe. Each vessel would have had two handles. The handle has a pitted surface. The inverted heart shaped handle would have hung down from a simple staple. The staple…
