An incomplete, unidentified object of uncertain date. The object is formed from a single piece of igneous rock, most probably gabbro, which appears to have been at some point manipulated into a circular form, though it is now worn and broken. Numerous large quartz inclusions are present within the stone. Centrally, a circular piece of gold infilled with red enamel has been inserted into the stone. Due to the durable nature of this type of stone it is probable that the gold was purposefully inserted into its surface. There are no signs of any form of attachment. The gold makes up less…

Unidentified object of unknown date. Copper alloy strip with three parallel grooves running the full length of the object on the outer face, and four on the inner face. These grooves appear to contain traces of black, or very dark blue, enamel. The upper edge of the object, and the two short ends, are smooth and slightly round and therefore appear to be a finished, undamaged edges. The long lower edge of the object, however, is slightly rough. It is unclear if this is a broken edge. If it is, the patination would suggest it is an old break. Both ends of the strip have been bent i…
