Early medieval ingot |
||
| Description |
English: Treasure Case 2005 T392
Date: Late 9th-11th century Description: A gold ingot of short, sub-rectangular section, the top and bottom faces hammered flat and there are also hammer marks on the sides. It would have been cast in a simple open mould either roughly cut in stone, or perhaps drawn in the earth with a stick. Discussion: Viking period gold ingots are more unusual than silver. A large number of silver ingots of the Viking period have been found mainly in hoards in England, Ireland and the Netherlands, as well as in Scandinavia. Silver ingots from the region of the Danelaw were probably used as bullion in payments or trade transactions. But in Southern England, where there was an established Anglo-Saxon coinage, it seems more likely that they were used for casting into items such as jewellery (Blackburn 2001). Dimensions and metal content: Length: 20mm; weight: 8.13g. Surface analysisindicated a gold content of approximately 89-91%. B Ager |
