Copper alloy sheet (32 fragments) DUR-CF5F45 (17 fragments, total 35g), DUR-CF52A2 (8 fragments, total 11g), DUR-CF6F56 (4 fragments, total 2g), DUR-D04E32 (1 fragment, total 15g), DUR-CF8AF8 Part D (2 fragments, 8g) Small fragments of copper alloy sheet. The majority are amorphous in form, with torn or broken edges. A few are narrow strips, or show defined edges or raised ribs suggesting they may have formed the edge of a mount or rim of a vessel. One such piece is pierced for attachment. Two of the largest fragments (DUR-D04E32, and part of DUR-CF8AF8 Part D) are made up of several f…

Workflow stage: Published
Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate gold content for the strip of 92-94%, with a silver content of 5-6%, the remainder being copper; it weighs 1.57 grams. The find consists of a length of narrow gold strip of triangular section with punched decoration of apex-to-apex triangles along the top ridge; it is broken at both ends; length, 32.5 mm. The decoration is very worn and abraded in places and there are cracks along the edges caused by distortion. The surface of the base is unworn, however, except for slight abrasion at one end. The strip i…

Gilded copper alloy chain mail armour hook, broken into two pieces. When complete, this would have been an S-shaped object in plan, with circular terminals, one of a pair which together would have formed a hinged lyre-shaped fitting (see M.120). The smaller fragment consists of one terminal. The rest of the object is complete. The front surface appears to have been gilded, and shows moulded decoration. There is a raised moulded band running down the centre of the S-shape, with a hatched central line. On either side of this ridge is a line of punched circular motifs. On the circular te…

Boar figurine fragment Cast copper alloy fragment in the shape of a boar's head with an incised line perhaps representing the mouth and moulding along the upper ridge a spined crest. Probably part of a hollow cast copper alloy boar figurine. The surface is pitted and corroded. It is possible that this was an unfinished or mis-cast object. Parallels: Several similar Iron Age boar figurines are known, for example from the Hounslow hoard (see BM 1864,0501.9 and 1864,0502.17). These figurines were sometimes fittings attached to vessels or helmets. Measurements: Length: 37.5mm; widt…
