County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy Anglo-Saxon small long brooch. The headplate comprises a sub-rectangular central panel, with half-rounded projecting knops or panels on the top and side edges, one of which is missing. The top of the bow projects from the lower edge, with a worn transverse break just below this junction. A central perforated lug on the reverse forms the hinge, which has the remains of the iron spring attached to it. This brooch, which dates to the late 5th or early 6th century AD, is mishapen, with a rough, irregular surface and features. It may have been derived from a cremation.

A personal 14th century seal matrix of lead, which has apparently been in contact with rusty iron in the ground and therefore has corrosion products affecting its surface. This is a circular matrix of approximately 32mm diameter and 2mm thickness, strengthened on the reverse by a central rib with a small process at one edge by which the object is grasped when in use. The die is arranged like a coin, with a circumscribed inscription. At the centre is a rosette consisting of four long slender points with four shorter leaflets between.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Heavily corroded iron knife-blade 80.5mm long and 12.00mm wide at the widest point. The thickness before corrosion appears to have been about 4mm. The knife has a straight squared back to the blade, which runs parallel to the cutting edge for about 55mm from the root of the tang, and then curves gently down towards the point. The cutting edge itself is perfectly straight. The tang is not present, nor its point of attachment visible, but seems most likely to have been continuous with the thicker part of the object, i.e. on the side of the squared back to the blade.
