The object is of the 'heater' shield shape, that is, with a flat top, and sides which curve steeply to a point. From the top edge a suspension loop protrudes centrally at ninety degrees to the pendant; it is angled forwards and slightly off centre. The pendant's upper surface features moulded heraldic decoration in the form of a lion rampant. The field is inlaid with red enamel and, although no trace survives of gilding, the red-brown metal is indicative of heating for gilding. It can only therefore be described as 'Gules, a lion rampant'. An example of this design can be found illustrated in Ashley (2002, 11; ref. 61), although it has different tinctures. This pendant features traces of off-white and light-green corrosion product in places. It has been bent forwards slightly at the pointed base.

The hollow back would have enclosed one of the arms of the lower part of the stirrup (Williams 1997, 1). The recess is central with a lower supporting ledge. Within the recess are corroded traces of the iron stirrup and possible lead solder to either side. The terminal is trilobate, of a flared foot like form. The flat lower surface is broadly semicircular in cross-section. At the top of the foot is a moulded transverse band. The narrowed element above has been broken as a result of old damage. In form this terminal is directly comparable with one illustrated in Williams 1997, 3; fig. 5). The metal has corroded to a red-brown colour with some lighter areas of corrosion product.

The frame was formed of a pair of sub-rectangular loops which have broken at the pin bar. At the outer edge of the loop is a wedge-shaped bifid knop, from which detailed foliate openwork extends horizontally in an open spiral shape, and which inclines inwardly to the corners of the the square buckle opening. This is mirrored by a similar spiral extending from the pin bar to join likewise at the corner. The upper surface of the frame is bevelled steeply internally through the openwork, but more gently at the exterior edges. The underside of the frame is flat, and possible traces of tinning remain. This artefact has corroded to a dark-green colour, with areas of underlying red/brown visible on the pin bar and at the exterior edges.

Mint is Rome. Both legends are missing.

From this tonsured area the indentations of the thimble follow a spiral pattern around the circumference of the body.

Because of the combination of stops and obverse legend it is possible that this coin is imitating a Post Treaty penny of Edward III (1351-1361 AD); cf. North 1991 Vol 2, p48-49; Wren 1995, p8 An extremely worn and broken Continental copy of a Medieval silver long cross penny. Initial mark: cross pattee. The style of the coin suggests a date from the mid-14th to 15th century AD. Traces of a flower on the right side of the crown on the obverse confirm Continental origins for this c...

Hawkes and Dunning Type IIIB. The buckle consists of a D-shaped buckle loop with a trapezoidal intregrally-cast plate on the outer face, a small plate on the reverse, two rivets and a pin, all of which are made of copper alloy. The D-shaped buckle loop has bevelled outer and inner edges and has incised decoration of two stylised dolphin heads from the side profile, with an eye, jaws and v-shaped delineation between head and body for each; a further line runs from top to the bottom of the jaws. The reverse surface of the buckle loop has been filed to smooth and flatten the surface but no further decoration is visible. The integrally-cast buckle plate has two parts: the first is trapezoidal in shape and has elaborate incised decoration on the outer surface and a circular hole for the pin, through which the pin is wrapped; the second part consists of a small narrow sub-rectangular plate on the reverse, which is undecorated and would have been used to create the necessary tension to fix a leather belt strap to the buckle. Both plates are fixed together by means of two circular copper alloy rivets near the outer edges of the buckle plate. The decoration of the buckle plate matches that of the loop in that it consists of incised and stamped decoration. Two incised lines with internal vertical hashing follow the three outer perimeter edges; inside of this decoration, half circles of a stamped ring-and-dot design follow two each on the shorter edges and four on the largest outer edge. In contrast to the effort used to create the buckle and plate, the pin is relatively rudimentary and created from a copper alloy sheet and simply wrapped around the pin hole. It is possible that this pin was added later when the original pin had broken and it seems that the alloy composition used was different from the rest of the buckle. The buckle and frame components all have an even dark green patina, but the rivets are of a slightly different green colour and the pin has differential corrosion on the surface and no real patina. It is in excellent condition with only slight surface damage on the outer surface and all components intact. The buckle measures a total of 27.55 mm long; with a maximum width of 30.81 mm at the buckle loop and 23.89 mm wide at the buckle plate end and maximum thickness of 3.41 at the buckle plate end; the reverse buckle plate measures 21.85 mm long by 6.12 mm wide and 0.62 mm thick; the pin measures 16.66 mm long. The buckle weighs 6.91 grams. Cf. Hawkes, S C and Dunning G, 1961. 'Soldiers and Settlers in Britain, 4th-5th Century', Medieval Archaeology 5, 1-70, esp. Fig. 20.
