A complete copper-alloy anthropomorphic figurine of possible early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) date, but potentially later. A standing figure, heavily stylized and apparently naked, but with no clear evidence of genitalia.  The face has a prominent triangular nose with a simple eye to either side and a crecentic groove for the mouth. The arms are flat against the sides of the body, crudely rendered via a rough groove along their inner edge. The left arm is slightly shorter than the right and seemingly missing the hand. The chest is defined by a Y-shaped groove and appears ma…

An incomplete copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) small-long brooch. At the head there is a trefoil-shaped plate consisting of a central rectangular section with a D-shaped projection to either side, each with a notch to either side behind it creating a constriction. A further D-shaped section would have projected from the outer end originally, but this is now missing. To the reverse there is the inner remains of a single lug pin fitting. The upper part of the bow projects downwards from the lower edge of the head. This is D-shaped in cross-section with a flat rev…

An incomplete copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) pin. Only the lower end of the pin head suvives. This is crescentic-shaped suggesting that it formed a loop of some sort originally. Below this is a collar c.11mm wide ribbed with multiple transverse grooves and a flattened rectangular shape in cross-section. The stem below this is circular in cross-section and tapers to a blunt tip at its lower end. The surface of the metal is corroded with a reddish-brown patina in places.  Without the upper part of the terminal it is difficult to be certain of the pin's type, bu…

A fragment from an early medieval (late Anglo-Saxon) strap end. The fragment comes from the upper end of the object where the strap would have been accommodated originally. It is trapzoidal in shape - slightly wider at its upper end and becoming narrower towards an abrupt, straight break across its lower end. One side is damaged, but the other has a small knop projecting from its centre. In profile the upper half of the fragment is bifurcated with the rear section of this now missing. A copper-alloy rivet remains in situ through each corner of the upper end. The outer surface…

An fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (middle Anglo-Saxon) ansate brooch. Only one terminal survives. This is sub-lozenge shaped with a straight break across its inner end. Its outer face is decorated with an incised saltire cross-shaped dividing it into four lozenge-shaped cells, each decorated with parallel engraved chevrons. There is evidence that small lobes projected from each of the three outer corners orginally, but two are missing and the remaining one to one side is hardly visible due to corrosion. To the reverse a double lug pin fitting projects still holding a corrode…

A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) probable small-long brooch. Only the foot of the brooch survives. This is an expanded patulate or axe-shape with inwards curving sides and outwards curving lower edge. There is a break where it probably attached to the brooch. There is no evidence of decoration, but the edges are damaged and corroded. This style of foot appears on several forms of small-long brooch (and on the later Anglian equal-arm brooch, but these are less common). Penn and Brugmann (2007) place the small-long brooches within their phas…
