Description

12th-8th century BC. A high tin content bronze jeweller's anvil comprising a rectangular body, 41mm in height, 40mm in width and 25mm in thickness; the top edge of the anvil is bevelled, with a longitudinal ridge in the centre and with two working faces sloping downwards; when viewed from the side, the body of the anvil is pentagonal in shape; there is a sub rectangular projection extending from the base of the body for sinking into a wooden block approximately 51mm long and 9mm thick; this projection is sub-ovoid in cross section and tapers both in width and in thickness towards the tip with projecting side flanges to provide a key, also tapered. Similar to another anvil, also found in Essex, recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme with reference number ESS-3965F0. 353 grams, 92.93mm (3 5/8"). Found whilst searching with a metal detector near Shalford, Essex, on 13 September 2020, and recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme under report number [TBC]. Gold working in the Bronze Age British Isles produced ornaments and other items between circa 2500 and 800 BC. In this period, communities in Britain first learned how to work metal, leading to the widespread creation of gold, copper and bronze items; gold artefacts were especially prestigious items used to show the high status of those individuals who wore, or were buried with them.
