Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded single-looped sub-rectangular buckle of post-medieval date. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed; the pin is missing. The buckle is bevelled externally on its upper face and is flat on the lower. The outer edge is rounded and features a central, projecting ovoid knop defined on either side by diagonal incisions; the knop is bent downwards slightly. The metal is a reddish colour with large areas of dark green corrosion product. A buckle with similarities can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 28; ref. 145), although Whitehead only offers a wide date range.

A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin and plate. The frame's expanded outer edge has knopped ends which travel outwards slightly. Delineating the knops are fine, raised transverse ridges. There is a pair of similar ridges central on the outer edge which would have acted as a pin rest. The is a further, wider moulding between the central ridges and the ridge by the knop on both sides.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A circular cast copper-alloy gilded mount of probable medieval date. The lower surface is essentially flat, but heavily corroded. There is a pair of probable rivets near the circumference with a probable rove under one of them. They correspond to a pair of rivet heads on the upper surface. These are mirrored on the other side of the brooch by a pair of punched circles; these do not feature any obvious remains of rivets and there is no clear evidence for them on the lower surface. The upper surface is decorated in relief within a beaded border. The decoration consists of a creature …

A pair of copper-alloy objects found in the vicinity of each other: plausibly adjoining elements of the same medieval heraldic mount. The first element is small and shield-shaped. From the centre of the top of the 'heater' shaped shield is a protrusion which is now vestigial after an old break (W.: 2.55mm). While the lower surface of the object is flat, the upper surface is moulded in low relief with three lions going left: the arms of England. Traces of gilt survive on the lions. They are within a field of red enamel and can be described heraldically as 'gules three lions passant gua…

Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A pin cast in copper alloy of probable early-medieval date (mid-late Anglo-Saxon). The pin has a polyhedral head (9.0 x 8.55 x 7.55mm), formed from a cuboid with its corners cut off; the triangles and lozenges thus formed are not regular. The four lozengiform fields round the edges are decorated with three scored diagonal lines in two rows. This is unusual as many polyhedral pins feature ring-and-dot decoration (see e.g. Hinton 1996, 22; fig. 9). Below the head the shaft is faceted, and of crudely octagonal cross-section. Each face is decorated with a row of punched circles. Belo…

A cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle with integral plate of probable late early-medieval date (c. 11th century AD). This is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin, which was made of iron judging by the orange corrosion product retained in the perforation. The frame is oval with a prominently protruding triangular lip on its outer edge. On its upper surface it is bevelled externally with mirroring internal bevelling on its lower surface extending into the lip. Around the pin perforation there is a moulding either side on the upper surface in the transverse plane.…

A slightly corroded, almost complete cast copper-alloy harness pendant of medieval date (c. 14th century). The octofoil artefact is relatively unusual and elaborate. The form is effectively that of a cross patty which has rounded terminals to its arms, with diagonal arms emerging from between the arms of the cross. The diagonal arms terminate in a trefoil and, as with the other arms, the terminal is delineated by a small transverse ridge. The beginning of each diagonal arm is a moulded heart shape, the recess of which is filled with enamel: seemingly red enamel in the two fields to th…

An incomplete copper-alloy artefact: probably a late early-medieval/medieval scabbard chape (c. 12th century AD). The object is formed of a broadly rectangular lower plate with an arm protruding up from it at a slightly oblique angle to the perpendicular. This upper arm has been bent backwards just below the halfway point, at an angle of around forty-five degrees. The lower section bends back on itself at the end opposite the arm. It is assumed that the complete chape would have been made of a symmetrically cut piece of copper alloy bent round on itself so that the leather of the s…
