Description: | Possible Late Saxon Copper alloy Thor's hammer pendant consisting of T-shaped piece hammered into a rather variable trapezoidal section. A means of suspension is missing and the ends of the crossbar are also broken. The metal's surfaces have been cleaned of all verdigris. Height 24mm. Width 22mm. Section 5-5 x 4mm to 7mm x 4.5mm. Weighing 7.55g. If this tentative identification is correct then the object dates to the later 9th century. The nearest certain Thor's hammer pendant to have been recorded was found c.4km away, in South Lopham parish (HER 314130).
