Title |
Early Medieval Christian Amulet |
||
Description |
English: A cast copper alloy fragment which is sub-square in plan. The two horizontal edges are the original edges and are slightly bevelled in profile. The two vertical edges have been cut in antiquity, as the patina continues oover the edges. One corner of the object is slightly bent, but this is probably due to damage rather than intention.
There are runic inscriptions on both faces. Those on the outward face are well defined and well formed with serif feet. Barry Ager (British Museum) comments 'The inscription is incomplete, unfortunately, since at the left-hand end the strip has been cut vertically through the upright of a missing letter (perhaps E, I, M, H, or D) and there seem likely to have been other letters at this end, too. The last three of the four remaining runes have all been joined together and what is left of the inscription appears to read '(...)ADMO (...).' There are also runes on the reverse, but these are very faint and crudely incised but Barry Ager suggests they appear to read 'RLD'. The surface of the object has a delicate light blue/green patina. It measures 17.31mm long, 14.65mm wide, 0.69mm thick and weighs 1.21g. XRF confirmed the material is copper alloy. Probably dates to the later Early Medieval period (based on the dating of Scandinavian material - refer to Notes). |
