Copper alloy finger ring probably from the early Medieval period. It has a lozengiform cross-section and tapering ends which overlap. The patina is dark brown and the surface is a little pitted. Finger-rings of similar size and shape, but with oval or circular cross-sections, have been recorded from Thetford (A. Goodall in Rogerson and Dallas 1984, fig. 110, 17-21), two (nos. 17 and 20) from 10th- or 11th-century contexts. Finger-rings with lozenge-shaped cross-sections are less well understood, and some at least may be quite modern in date

Cast copper alloy finger ring from the late Medieval/Post Medieval period, c.1400-1700. The ring has a raised central part on the outside surface. This part of the ring is decorated with incised patterns. There are sections of vertical lines and sections of ovals. These sections are separated by a radiating sun. On either side of the raised central part is a beaded line before the raised smooth edge of the ring. Rings with incised lines have been dated to c.1400-1450 (Egan and Pritchard; 1991; 331/2).

Copper alloy Medieval purse hanger. The hanger is complete and is a three arched example formed of a large semicircle flanked by two smaller ones. The ends feature collared expanded terminals. On each side of the central arch is a point. At the side of the outside arches are smaller points. The artefact has a dark patina. Purse hangers were freely swinging, held at each end, usually by a bar mount, to a girdle. When they were not used to attach purses to belts such objects were often used to attach knives.
