Copper alloy Unidentified Object with white metal plating traces. A tapering curved bar with a projecting lug or loop on the external side of its curve, and presumably having lost part of its extent. The poor condition of the object would admit the possibility of an open suspension loop having being closed by partial melting, though the retention of any white metal plating in temperatures capable of melting a copper alloy would be odd. One side is in poor condition, and the other in very poor condition. The object may have been a pendant. Suggested date: Unknown, 40-1050. Height: 1…

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A nearly complete cast copper-alloy bar mount, possibly a strap fitting, of uncertain date. The mount is solid cast and sub-rectangular in plan, with two rectangular lugs protruding from the reverse side, creating a raised angular D-shaped profile for the mount, perhaps in order to accommodate a strap. The reverse lugs each have a rectangular iron rivet still partially intact; the remains suggest that the rivets were elongated and tapering. Although no incised decoration is visible, traces of silvering or tinning remain on both sides of the mount. The reverse surface is undecorated…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy mount of uncertain date. The crudely made mount is 'propeller-shaped', with an oval central portion, either side of which the sides flare towards a rounded terminal. The areas flanking this central portion have a slight 'bulge' in their sides, and the surfaces at these points are undecorated; in contrast, the areas extending towards the terminals are decorated by longitudinal, parallel lines of what appears to be silvering. These lines sit proud of the rest of the surface, but this may be due to the disintegration of the original surface and the silvering may once hav…

Unidentified object consisting of a 1.4mm thick disc, both faces silvered. In its centre is a projecting pin, 2.2mm diameter x 0.3mm high. It is unclear if it is visible on the other face. On one side of the disc is an integral projection, rectangular, 4.5 x 2.5mm, stepping down to 3.3 x 3.3mm. This may represent the damaged end of a shank. Through the projection is rivet with a 2.0mm diameter head, on the other side of the projecting plate are two curved arms 2.0mm wide x 1.1mm thick which follow the edge of the disc for 6.5mm. A notch on the edge of the disc opposite the projection …

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large copper-alloy silvered ring, of uncertain date or function. The ring is roughly D-shaped in cross-section, with two incised grooves around the outer circumference creating a raised central ridge. The outer surface of the ring was heavily silvered, but the interior of the ring is undecorated. Similar rings were used for a multiple of functions but are usually not silvered. As such, the ring may have served as an attachment loop for a piece of horse or personal equipment. The date of this object is uncertain as such objects were in use from at least the late Iron Age through to t…

A incomplete copper alloy object, probably a mount, of Medieval to Post Medieval date, c. 1200-1800 AD. The object has been fashioned from a rectangular copper alloy sheet, pressed with a repeating decoration and silvered or tinned on the decorated surface. The sheet has been pierced on one of the shorter ends with three very small circular holes, with one still potentially holding a fragment of a rivet intact; the other short end has been broken. The decoration consists of a raised series of overlapping sub-rectangular shapes with one trilobed end. A vertical line runs down the centr…
