Viking Gold Ring. Found near Chester.
This ring was fashioned with three strands of gold wire and plaited. The plait was then turned sideways and the six ends were intertwined and cold welded. This is typical of Viking style jewelry. c. 850 a.d.
This ring is of brass and inside states that it is "Persian Silver"
Brass junk ring. Elizabethan Ring. Dated 1558 - 1602 .375 Birmingham MM 1946. Gold found on a footpath.
This object which resembles an iron axe could possibly be from a farming ridging machine. The length is 160 mm x 100 mm at the blade end. The blade appears to have been sharpened and was found a foot in depth.
Usually 6th - 15th Century. This particular example is very similar to
one in a collection which was dated to the 10th - 11th
Century. The ring and dot pattern is a common feature of Anglo-Saxon
objects, however it does also occur on Anglo-Norman objects and further
forward still on objects of the 13th Century".
