4 Jet buttons and rings. Jet was obtained from the eastern coast of North Yorkshire, where lumps of it could be seen eroding out of the cliffs. It needs skilled working if it is not to lose its intense black color. Both of these sets of ornaments were found in graves, one of which was certainly male. They were probably dress fastenings.
