9786B (none) 1928,1010.698 (none) [A-B] Silver wire ornaments Apparently 7, of which 6 are whole or nearly so [drawing] They seem to have been connected with silver headdress 9785, with which they were found, and might have been attached to a narrow silver ribbon found with it, or to the string of very small beads: they were not with the gold rings
9787 (none) (none) B17588 Gilt Ornaments. Short copper rods, 006 long, originally encased with very thin gold. Some of these had attached to one end of them 2 small gold leaves: others had a gold flower rosette and the gold leaf had come off. Probably part of the head ornament 9785. Others had a rim round the stem near but not at the end: and there were found fragments of hollow gold leaf-like balls which may have gone above these so as rather to resemble a pomegranate. The copper stems were pierced with very small holes 0005 apart so must have served as spacers for beads, or else been sewn onto something. One of the gold flowers was fixed to a double silver bead, and to one also silver rosettes were similarly attached. [additional drawing on back of card] [drawing]
