This artefact was originally identified at a 16th - 17th Century dress fastener. Therefore the artefact was reported as a possible Treasure item and was sent to the British Museum. The British Museum's Post-Medieval artefact specialist (Dora Thornton) has suggested that the artefact is more likely to be a watch key than a dress-hook. The watch key is silver, with traces of what could be niello. The artefact is triangular in shape tapering to a point which appears to be the zoomorphic head of a bird. The opposite end of the triangle has been broken; the breaks do not look recent. The w…

A medieval gold finger-ring, set with a green stone. The ring is distorted and measures 23mm across its greatest diameter. The hoop widens towards the bezel into which the stone is set and held with four claws. The stone has not been identified and may be glass paste.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A broad flat strip of gold which has been folded into four. Both ends, one folded inside, appear to be ragged cuts, so the object was originally longer in both directions. The long sides are neatly finished, one convex, the other concave, which would have made the strip crescentic before folding. The strip is ornamented with a simple line of closely set punched dots set along the medial line, concentric with the curved edges. It is probably late Bronze Age in date, although a date earlier in the Bronze Age can not be overlooked.
