Description: | Cast copper alloy girdle hanger and large cast copper alloy ring. Found together. Early Medieval. Often found associated with graves. 1) Girdle hanger - 19.16g. 118mm long. 33mm long at the head. Head is 12mm wide. Stem is 10mm wide at the head and tapers down to a blunt tip. The whole hanger is 1.5mm thick. The one surviving prong, or arm, is 28mm long and 12mm wide. The head is broken vertically at the corner, losing the opposite prong/arm. 2) Ring. 37.25g. The ring is solid and complete. The inner diameter is 57mm. It is 5mm thick. A corrosion scar exists on one edge where the girdle hanger was apparently lying n the soil on top of it, hence their being recorded together as potential components of the same object.
