Title
Early Medieval Ear Scoop
Description
English: Early Saxon copper alloy ear scoop. Flat-sectioned, expanded at the upper end and pierced to form a suspension loop. The upper part of the shank is engraved with transverse lines on one side and crosshatching on the other before a central flat oval boss, below which is more crosshatching on one face and possibly transverse engraved lines on the other although now very worn, before expanding slightly to form an oval, flat scoop. The scoop is now bent almost in half. Length (unbent) 67mm. Width of suspension loop 6mm. Width of central boss 9mm. Maximum width of scoop 5mm.

No very close paralell has been found, but an example from South Cambridgeshire (BH-206083) also has a central expansion.
