posted on 2021-10-26, 19:44 authored by Helena HamerowHelena Hamerow
Bronze chatelaine hanger, length 4.25cm. A barrel-shaped round sectioned hollow grip with traces of iron inside: and a flat piece of bronze flaring out and contracting into 3 lobed perforated end. Found with remains of a chatelaine, and undoubtedly used as a suspension device. No iron rust around perforated lobes.Many parallels in the Faussett cemeteries: cf. Kingston grave 50.
