Copper alloy unidentified object fragment. A fragment from a possibly discoid flat plate with one curving edge; all other sides broken. One flat face, the smoother and probably the display face, is lightly bubbled. The other bears a stamped oval panel with two larger [diameter 2mm] and two smaller [diameter 1mm] six-pointed stars within it, possibly a maker's mark, and possibly sited less obtrusively on the object when it was complete.

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy unidentified object. A sub-rectangular flat-sided billet of abraded copper alloy, probably cast. One side bears three or more small [length 1.4mm] stamps at one end, which was a decorative technique especially favoured for copper alloy objects of the early Anglo-Saxon period. Much material of this period is reported from the same general location. Candidates for the original object whence this comes might include a broad band annular brooch, which excavation shows to be a prolific class of dress accessory from 5th and 6th-century cemeteries. These remain perplexingly rare …

Copper alloy possible girdle hanger fragment. A cast strip wuith straight sides, slightly expanded at one end where a hole of diameter 3.7mm is drilled as if for suspension of the object. Broken at the other end. The display side bears neatly incised linear borders and a ring of annular stamps of diameter 1.2mm, of which about 27 appear, with only two slightly superimposed. Bent. If the identification offered is sustained, this would imply a 6th-century date, as girdle hangers were part of the 'object kit' deemed suitable for the burial costume of an adult Anglian woman in her 'nationa…
