Title
Vervel
Description
English: Small flat annular disc made of silver. Apparently punched from a sheet. Circular with large central circular perforation. Inscribed on both sides; one side reads; *Will. Earle of Bedford; the other reads; *at Wooborne Abby. Slightly bent.

The object is a vervel, recording the owner's name and place of abode. Vervels were used to connect the leather jesses (thongs) attached to a hawk's legs to the leash which tied the bird to its block, or permitted a greater range of movement when on the glove. Vervels generally record the owner's name on on one side and place of origin on the other, as here, but occassionally only record the owner's name.

Published exampels in Norfolk and others in the British Museum help to date this piece (see S Margeson and D Gaimster, 'A post medieval silver hawking vervel', Norfolk Archaeology, XI, part III, 1989, pp. 326-37). This vervel is assumed to be associated with William Russell, 5th Earl of Bedford (1613 - 1700), whose family home was at Woburn Abbey, in Bedfordshire.
