Description: | Early Saxon gold composite spangles or pendant: a square sheet plate is set lozenge-wise and pierced for suspension at one corner, the top of the perforation is almost worn through. Wire rings with wound ends hang from the other three corners, each holding a smaller square sheet plate pierced for suspension in one corner. There is a repoussé boss in the centre of all four plates. A horseshoe-shaped stamp consisting of ten trapezoidal impressions has been struck four times on the larger plate, while the smaller ones are decorated with punched dots. Small parts of two smaller plates are missing. The large plate and all three rings are distorted.
