Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy buckle frame with attached copper-alloy pin. This frame is D-shaped measuring 23.3mm by 11.1mm in size. The frame has a rounded front face and a flat back face, the bar is slightly narrower than the frame and is roughly circular in cross-section. The pin is attached to the bar via an open loop. There are three transverse grooves where the front face of the loop ends, the tip of the pin curves downwards over the edge of the outer edge of the frame. This buckle is early Anglo-Saxon, probably 7th or 8th century in date.

Record ID: SF-2D84E8
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy incomplete unidentified object, this object is incomplete due to old breaks. The suriving fragment is rectangular in shape and measures 17.5mm in length and 14.9mm in width. The front face is decorated with an incised circle in the centre of which there is a circular perforation, 2.3mm in diameter. Part of another incised circle can be seen to one side of this complete one. The back face is undecorated. This fragment is most likely to be a strap fitting or mount of some kind but it is too fragmentary to be certain. It is possibly medieval or post-medieval in date.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete copper-alloy quatrefoil strap fitting or mount, measuring 16.5mm by 16.5mm in size. This mount has two parallel in situ iron rivets near to the central edge of two opposing lobes of the quatrefoil. The front face of the mount has a white metal coating. This mount is similar to those discovered in London, medieval and c14th century in date (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 184-185).

A copper-alloy unidentified object, a circular disc, measuring 12.9mm in diameter and 1.6mm in thickness. There is a circular perforation through the centre of the disc, measuring 2.3mm in diameter. One face of the disc is decorated with four evenly spaced circular indentations, possibly originally ring and dot motifs. Traces of a ahite metal coating can also be seen on this face. The other face is undecorated. No parallel could be found for this object but due to the nature of its decoration it is believed to be early-medieval in date.

An incomplete copper-alloy openwork hasp, probably a box or casket fitting. It is incomplete due to an old break, but roughly rectangular in shape, flaring in width towards one terminal, measuring 34mm in surviving length and 16.7mm in width. The complete narrower end has a transverse rectangular perforation, and beyond this there are five oval holes, arranged in two diagonal rows of two and three.

A complete copper-alloy needle in very good condition. This needle measures 60mm in total length and has a tapering shaft with a pointed terminal. The shaft has an oval cross-section, measuring 2.7mm in width, at its widest point and 2mm in thickness. The head is a pointed lozenge shape (5mm in width at its central point) with a long oval perforation through it, measuring 6.8mm in length and 2.5mm in width internally. There are traces of a possible circumference groove below the head, although it is unclear if this is intentional or due to later damage. A very similar needle has b…
