Full Description
An oval intaglio of red jasper, with a figure of Pan, was found by Surg Comdr P. Gray, in the same saltings (Slay Hill) where a mass of melted jewellery was discovered in 1864 (TQ 87 SE 14, 17) (1). Surg Cdr Gray has left the district and no information on the present whereabouts of the intaglio was obtained (2). This intaglio was found by Gray in September 1952 at TQ 8596 7025. It was examined by Brailsford and assumed on topographical grounds to be part of a hoard found near the sea wall at an unknown date (TQ 87 SE 14). The intaglio is retained by Gray. The find spot coincides with a possible kiln site (TQ 87 SE 45) (TQ 87 SE 45) (3). Additional references (4-6).
