'Cogwheel' brooch, basically circular in outline with a zigzag edge comprising 18 V-shaped projections. Within the zigzag edge there is a grooved border, and then there are four roughly D-shaped perforations forming a cross shape. At the centre of the cross is a raised boss with a lozenge-shaped groove around, and a groove runs from each corner of the lozenge along each of the arms of the cross to meet (or nearly meet) the border. Each arm of the cross is expanded to accommodate two small round bosses at the terminal. There could have been much more decorative detail than this origina…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Middle or late Anglo-Saxon strap-end made of very dark brown copper alloy. The back half of the split end is broken off and the 2 original rivets at the end have been joined by a third inserted through the fan-shaped motif, probably an attempt at repair. The end is shaped and the fan motif is a simple fan-shaped groove. The rivets are all either iron or the same brown copper alloy; only their heads survive. Between the rivets and the animal-head terminal, the sides of the strap-end are scalloped - 4 on each side - with a bold curved groove in each one. Between is a rectangular panel o…

Possibly part of a chatelaine. A circular-section copper-alloy rod 3 mm in diameter, with each end flattened and pierced. The centre is also flattened and pierced. Although the rod is now bent out of shape, it appears that there was an original sharp bend down to each flattened pierced part. One half is now bent round in a circle, and the other half is straightened out. If the rod is turned on its side (looking at the flat parts in section) decoration can be seen, consisting of a transverse groove with three oblique grooves to either side. This motif occurs three times, twice …

Complete pin. The head is globular but slightly facetted, with each facet decorated with a ring-and-dot. There is one on the top, five around the top half, six around the ‘equator’, and four around the lower half. Below is a small flat-topped collar, then a circular-section shaft which is now bent into a series of small wiggles. There is no stress to the metal and the bending could have taken place in antiquity. At about two-thirds of the way down the shaft there is a very slight step outwards before the shaft tapers again to the point. This ‘hipping’ was to keep the pin …

Mystery object which superficially resembles a buckle with integral plate and frame. The frame end is pentagonal externally, with a knop on the angled end, and oval internally but with an offset (perhaps caused by wear?) towards a transverse ridge (like a pin bar) which separates the frame from the plate. The plate is thick, flat, tapering and apparently solid, and ends in another transverse ridge. A hole has been drilled into the end of the plate, and has cut through one face to leave a slot. There is some ?solder in the furthest recesses of this hole. It can’t be a buckle as t…
