Copper alloy fragment taking the form of a short rod, semi-circular in cross-section and broken at both ends. One end appears to have been drilled through with a circular hole, but this is now broken. This must have originally formed part of a larger object or fitting, but its precise function is unclear. Measurements: Length: 25.7mm; width: 5.0mm; thickness: 3.4mm; weight: 1.7g

Chain mail armour fitting Rosette-shaped gilded copper alloy boss, set onto iron chain mail. The boss is in the form of rosette, mounted onto a slightly larger circular boss, the outer face of which is decorated with moulded vertical lines. In the centre of the rosette is a ?drilled circular indentation, which may once have held enamel. The upper surface was originally gilded, although little now remains. Fragments of iron chain mail adhere to the reverse. The mail is extremely corroded and extends only slightly past the edge of the boss. Parallels: M.118 and M.119 from the related 1…

Chain mail armour fitting Rosette-shaped gilded copper alloy boss, set onto iron chain mail. The boss is in the form of a moulded eight-petalled flower. In the centre of the flower is a concave circle with a raised central pip, perhaps a setting for enamel or a stud. The front surface, including the central circular setting, has been gilded. This piece is incomplete, damaged along the edge for around half of its circumference. Fragments of iron chain mail remain, adhering to the reverse of the boss. Parallels: There are no direct parallels in the 1843 hoard, but the style of the piec…

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…
