Further examples
of personal ornaments from the cemetery at Faversham.
From the
collection of Mr. William Gibbs.
Figs 1 to 6. Gold pendamits, analogous to, but differing in pattern
from, those in the Fausaett collection. engraved in the ‘Inventorium
Sepulehrale,’ p1. iv. It is somewhat difficult to say whether the red
substance in these jewels is glass or garnet, in several which on former
occasions we were enabled to test, they were decidedly garnets cut into
thin plates. Mr. Gibbs informs me he considers those in figs. 1 to 3,
and 4 and 6, are glass. The blue stones are either turquoise or lapis-lnzuli.
Fig. 5 is set with what appears to be fine, streaked marble. Fig. 7.
Bead in amethystine quartz. Figs. 8 and 9. Beads in glass and coloured
clay.
