This is decorated with an incised border above a deep moulded waist, with a series of incised grooves (number seven in total?) radiating from the top of the knop to the incised border. Beneath the waist is a raised collar that has incised duble transverse grooves. The base of the knob is flat with a single projecting knop or shaft that is rectangular in form and D-shaped in section with double transverse grooves at its base. The entire object has a dark brown patina with some encrustation and iron staining. It measures 18.88mm in length (including knop, 13.98mm without knop/shaft), 9.54mm in diameter and 6.03g in weight.

A similar moulded circular ring and dot motif, possibly with the remains of a white solder or similar material is present towards the opposite break. It has a dark brown patina and measures 30.69mm in length, 8.08mm in width, 2.83mm in thickness and 2.81g in weight. This is probably a fragment from the corner of a buckle frame or similar item.

There is a coil, or possibly a hook, located in the centre of the vertical bar that bends towards the outer surface of the brooch, then bends abruptly upwards. This sits on top of a subrectangular bow, which angles 45 degrees towards the bar. The bow curves downwards towards the catchplate and tapers to a point; there is a central flute running the length of the bow. The catchplate is broken, but has evidence that it had circular openwork. The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin, most of the spring, and half of the catchplate; all breaks are old.

Only the bit end survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The stem of the key is flat, rectangular in form and at its base folds forwards at an angle of 90 degrees to form a bit with rectangular notch. The front face of the object has punched and incised decoration comprising a border on each side of the incomplete end formed from a vertical row of punched semi-circles within a vertical incised groove. Mid-way down the length of the surviving fragment this decoration is truncated by a group of three transverse grooves, beneath which are single notches to either side and below this a pair of incised transverse grooves. Beneath these transverse grooves the front face has similar decoration to the incomplete end (punched semi-circles and incised grooves) that run to the bit. The entire object has a dark green patina with some corrosive products visible in places. It measures 42.91mm in length, 8.09mm in width, 2.63mm in thickness and 6.07g in weight. This is an incomplete copper-alloy slide key. Its form is similar to Medieval examples, although the decorative elements suggest an earlier date, possibly in the late Roman or Early-Medieval periods. No close parallel has been identified as yet, but the object possibly dates to between c.300-900 AD. 0.450339EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIREHARNESS PENDANTEAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE2011-12-06T16:23:47ZYORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER200Copper alloy21.6CSh0068.jpg361277Rebecca GriffithsRebecca Griffiths20.8476323EllerkerYORYM-E419314Restricted Access3.8images/bmorris/2012-02-23T14:02:03Z1300ROMAN53.7490842.2 An incomplete cast copper alloy harness pendant of Roman date.

The bezel measures 12.5mm wide and 14.4mm long, and is 2.2mm thick; it is decorated with a grooved border, and in the bottom of the groove are deeper dots. There are 21 dots across the top of the rectangular panel, 23 down each of the long sides, and 24 across the bottom, although this last number is slightly uncertain due to damage (counting the corner dots each time). Within this border is an engraved human figure holding a cross in one hand and a bird in the other, with a second bird seen in profile above. The human figure is depicted standing and in profile, looking to the observer's left. There is no indication of any clothes, and it may be that the figure is naked. There is a line across the waist, probably indicating a belt. The figure's right leg is longer, and is crossed behind the left. The top half of the figure is turned towards the observer and the right hand holds the cross, the left the bird. The head is looking upwards, with a pointed nose almost touching the cross, a smaller pointed chin below, and hair running backwards from the face. There is no eye. The hands seem to each be divided into three fingers. The cross has a long lower arm and three shorter arms. Each arm has a slightly expanded squared-off end, like a serif. Both birds have curled beaks, indicating their predatory nature; the bird above is larger and shown in more detail. It has an angled headframe and a dot eye, and a ribbed tail with the lines looking very like the hair on the man's head. Under the bird is a line pointing forwards which ends in three parallel lines and a single line at right angles to these so pointing backwards, probably representing a leg ending in toes. The smaller bird is much more schematic. There is a groove dividing the flared tail from the body, and another dividing the body from the head; there is no detail added otherwise to tail, body or head. The long sides of the bezel are both decorated in the same way but are now worn to different degrees, that on the edge nearest the cross much more than the one opposite. The less worn edge is decorated with a wide rectangular recess, filled with a pair of beaded wires which flank a plain wire; the beaded wire closest to the finger is least worn, whereas the one closest to the surface of the bezel is very worn. The short sides of the bezel each have a step before they meet the hoop, and here there is some damage; there is a distinct crack across the top of the hoop here. There is a faint crack to either side of the step at the other end of the bezel, and it is possible that the step may have been soldered on separately. There is a crease and partial crack or groove across the centre of the reverse of the bezel, and all these cracks may preserve information about the construction of the bezel, which may have been built up in several soldered-together pieces rather than having been cast in one piece. The hoop is D-shaped in cross-section, and at its narrowest point is 6.2 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick. It has relief decoration in five panels separated by transverse lines. The panel on the shoulder above the figure's head, beyond the wider crack, is filled with a motif which appears to represent a pair of schematic animal heads in profile. The conjoined heads are rounded and almost entirely filled with a large circular depression which might represent an eye. To one side they each have a pair of transverse grooves and a pair of ridges, which divides them from the jaws. There are two sets of widely splayed jaws which fill the space in the shoulder; the inner jaws curve round to join each other. A central beaded ridge in each mouth may represent a tongue; this is also a single U-shaped curve, so the animals are in effect sharing a tongue. This panel is separated from the next by a pair of plain ridged lines separated by a very worn beaded ridge. The next panel up is divided into two by plain ridges, and the fields thus formed are filled with a pair of relief birds, now very worn. Nearest the shoulder are a pair of crossed wings, decorated with sometimes three, sometimes four longitudinal lines; these are topped with profile birds' heads. The heads have right-angled headframes, which cut right across the bird giving the effect of a cross or division into four fields instead of two. The heads are very worn, but have distinct upper and lower mandibles and tiny dot eyes. The central field on the hoop is divided on either side by a very worn beaded ridge. It is filled with relief interlace of unusual but symmetrical design, with a larger looser loop in the centre and smaller loops and tighter interlace at either end of the panel. The interlace seems unusual perhaps because it is based on fairly loose twisted loops, and has subtle symmetry, rather than the tight and obvious symmetry often found in small rectangular panels such as these. The ends of the ribbon do not meet; they both stop at the edge of the hoop on the same side as the cross on the bezel. There are no animal elements visible in the interlace; it seems to be entirely abstract. The panels in the second half of the hoop repeat those on the first half. Dimensions: The hoop is bent slightly out of shape, and now measures approximately 25.3mm from the top of the bezel to the back of the hoop, and 26.6mm perpendicular to this. The internal dimensions are approximately 20 x 22mm. The ring weighs 20.1g. Discussion: To be completed. Date: Provisionally late sixth to early seventh century AD; to be confirmed. 0.228745
