Title |
Bronze Age Personal Ornament |
||
Description |
English: A fragment of gold strip tapering to a narrow, rounded end which is pierced, pushing excess gold through to the back. The long edges are flattened. The broken edge appears to be torn. The piece is slightly crumpled and distorted. Length 21.2mm; width 9.5mm; thickness 0.5mm at edge; weight 0.86 grams. Non-destructive X-ray flourescence analysis of the fragment indicated a surface composition in the range of 87-90% gold, 8-10% silver and less than 1% copper. The piece may be compared with complete examples of ornaments found at Binstead, Sussex (Treasure Annual Report 1998-1999, pp. 10-11, no. 3). The tapered end, perforation and flattened edges can all be matched although the Binstead examples have neater perforations (it may be that the present fragment represents unfinished work then scrapped). The complete rings from Binstead were found interlinked and had hook-and-hole fastenings and are datable via analogues in France to the Middle Bronze Age, about 1500-1300 BC. It seems likely that they were ear ornaments. Gillian Varndell, Curator, British Museum, 6.12.2005 |
