Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A small Roman copper-alloy anthropomorphic figurine representing a bound captive. The naked captive is crouching with his legs drawn up and together and his elbows on his knees. His arms broken at the elbows so the hands and lower arms are missing. The legs are broken at the ankles so the feet are missing. The posture is dictated by the shackles the captive bears: a rope would have connected his neck, hands and feet, with a loop around these three areas. Only the rope around the neck survives, with a small fragment also from the feet up towards the knees. The fibres of the rope are …

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Published
A circular, cast copper alloy mount, with enamelling on the front face. The general style, decorative content and use of enamel suggests that it was made at the Limoges school in France, probably in the 12th or 13th century AD. As with many of the Limoges pieces, it seems likely that it would have decorated a reliquary (religious casket) or a Christian book. The mount is circular and the front is convex. The design in champlevé enamel is a trefoil, with a circle in the centre containing a quatrefoil. The quatrefoil has red enamel at the centre, then a band of dark blue, one of gr…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Gold finger ring, probably of Roman date. The hoop consists of a narrow band, slightly elliptical in section. The ovoid bezel, which has been soldered onto the hoop, consists of an outer decorative band of beaded wire which surrounds a box setting for stone, now missing. The setting is crushed and damaged and the hoop bent and distorted. Discussion: the ring is probably of Roman date, although this is not certain. A parallel for the style of the ring was found at Leeuwarden and published by Henkel (1913, no. 135). Date: 3rd to 4th centuries AD? Wt.: 2.41g D. of bezel: 9.5mm Re…
