A slightly corroded fragment from a late early-medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian cast copper-alloy cheekpiece (c. 11th century AD). The fragment is formed of a curved Ringerike style animal head and neck in profile, possibly a dragon or sea monster. The cheekpiece is flat and the neck is long and the head is set at roughly right angles to it. On the outer edge of the curve is a recessed trefoil-shaped protrusion. At the end of the head is a rounded knop, perhaps representing a horn. Below are two small lobed protrusions in a row. Relief decoration on the upper surface of the head turns the …

The centre is also filled with enamel, within a raised circular gilded ring, which…

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy pin probably of early-medieval date. The head is globular. It has a maximum length of 5.9mm and a height of 5.1mm. Due to its state of wear and corrosion it lacks any discernible decoration. Below the head is a double collar; the collar is a common characteristic of Middle Anglo-Saxon pins (Geake 2001, 39). The shaft is circular in cross-section and 1mm in diameter below the collar (the collars' diameters are 1.5mm). The shaft itself bends sharply out from the collar, and curves in to a rough 'C' shape, however it is unclear whether any of the bending is origina…

The field of the attachment end is decorated with three circular facets; two are centred and vertically aligned, the third to the left of the centre. A possible fourth would be in the missing section (creating a pair). The base of the atta…
