Jewelry items


Images A-D are the center medallions from several pendants of varying sizes that were tear drop-shaped. They are made from thin sheets of cuprous metal that would have had silver plating or gilt and a layer of pewter or similar type of white metal attached to one side. They would have been surrounded by stones or perhaps pearls. Item E is a bezel cup for a glass or stone jewelry setting. Item F is a cuprous metal brooch fragment. Images G-I are wire coils. Item G is the silver bob earring after cleaning. Images K and L show an eye and chain, and jump ring, respectively. Item M is a gold gilt white metal ring with decorated sides. The decoration resembles an eagle with spread wings.
