Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: An Anglo-Saxon roundel. Date, 10th ? 11th century AD. This gold and enamel roundel is probably from Hampshire. It was found by Mr K Hollyfield while metaldetecting between 1980 and the early 1990s, and reported Treasure by his son. Though iit was not declared Treasure - because it was found before the commencement of the Treasure Act 1996 - the object was such a rarity that it has been purchased by the
British Museum. This object shows the Hand of God descending in a gesture of blessing or divine acknowledgement. The setting almost certainly derived from a larger object of some kind and in terms of design shows similarities to the famous Alfred Jewel. 2006 T242 (Cat.286) This was added from the site called flickr.com under the name portableantiquities. See source for details. |
