Object type: DIE STAMP
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy die stamp of early Anglo-Saxon date (c. 600 - c. 650 AD). The object is sub-trapezoidal in form. It narrows from 17.1mm at the attachment end to 7.4mm at the current terminal. There is a horizontal break at the terminal. It is presumed that the object would have had a circular terminal. Such a circle is echoed by a pair of circles just below the attachment end, half of each of which protrude from the edge of the clasp. These circles seem to imitate bosses or jewel settings on more ornate clasps, which in turn echo similar decoration on triangula…

Object type: STIRRUP
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn cast copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of late Anglo-Saxon date (c. 11th century AD). The mount is sub-pentagonal in form. It has a shallow, concave reverse face and a moulded convex upper surface. The moulding takes the form of a male mask. The object has an apex loop flanked by cusped, curved edges down to the widest point (W.: 32.8mm). On the upper surface this area equates to the man's hair. On both faces the remains of a central iron rivet protrude. At the widest point are eyebrows which start at the egdes and converge, joining centrally and continuing into a large, flared …

Record ID: HAMP-B69AE7
Object type: COIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Probably an irregular 3rd-century copper-alloy Roman radiate of uncertain emperor, probably one of the Tetricii, female figure on reverse, possibly Pax (c. 275 - c. 285 AD; Reece period 14). The thickness of the flan and the fact that the reverse figure does not seem to fit it properly suggest that this is a contemporary copy (barbarous radiate).
