Record ID: LVPL-10C0BD
Object type: TOGGLE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible Iron Age toggle, cast from copper alloy. The object is tubular and has a central ridge, with semicircular concave sections between this and the two flared outer mouths. It is most likely that the object, which at present is slightly distorted, was originally bilaterally symmetrical.

Record ID: LVPL-FACF89
Object type: LINCH PIN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Published
An Iron Age cast linch pin foot terminal of circular disc face, of copper alloy, roughly of 1st century BC-1st century AD date, similar to examples WMID720 and WAW-CEE943 in form on the database. The object is clearly broken and now consists only of the bulbous central section and the flattened disc-like head. oriented vertically and attached to the main body by a flaring neck. The inner part of the disc appears to have been decorated, but this has been corroded to illegibility. The main body is hollow. Linch pins like this one would have been used to secure the wheels of a chariot t…

Record ID: LVPL-C47BC0
Object type: BUTTON AND LOOP FASTENER
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Iron Age Button and loop fastener of cast copper-alloy, with some remaining enamel. The object consists of a central cast body recognisable as a single piece button and loop, though the loop is now broken and only two small stubs remain. The front is circular and has a circular, flat bottomed groove that probably incorporated enamel at one point, though this has been subsequently lost except for possible small traces. Only the central section, separated by another, smaller raised circle of copper-alloy, retains an amount of red material.

Record ID: LVPL-8F38B0
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy Iron Age/Romano-British bucket mount in the shape of a bull's head. The design is almost bilaterally symmetrical and longitudinally stretched, with a central ridge along the top of the head. The eyes are positioned about halfway along the length of the head and almond in shape, enclosed within another slightly larger almond to represent eyelids.The ears and horns are positioned at the back of the head and molded together as one extrusion, with a small indentation denoting the division in form. The left horn is now broken at the midway point, but the right extends upward…

Record ID: LVPL-FE149D
Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A partial fragment of a possibly Iron Age (200 BC-AD 200 based on similar examples on database) strap fitting, similar to YORYM-686B90 and FAKL-19312B though less complete. The object appears to be half of a roughly bilaterally symmetrical piece of cast metal. The overall form appears to be of a stylised foliate nature, with thicker blade like spokes supporting roughly triangular spacers with concave circles enclosing a raised dome. The back is concave and appears to have two former attachment points, though any protrusions they may have supported are now broken away.

Record ID: LVPL-3D21AA
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified piece of cast copper-alloy decoration, probably Iron Age or Roman. The entire piece is composed of swirling curvilinear shapes that are convex on the upper side and concave below. There are three main lobes it can be separated into; a 'j' shaped upper curve, and an 'r' shaped middle section whichconnects this to the final section which is a single loop circular spiral. A thin strip connects the 'j' to the spiral on the outer side. The piece is similar to NMS-E567C8 and LVPL172 in morphology, but appears more complete than either. Completeness is hard to assess, howe…

Object type: FOB
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron age fob or dangler of curvilinear and semi-triangular design. The centre appears to have broken free and is not present in the current object. The exact purpose or use of these objects is not clear, though many are decorated with zoomorphic figure, and this particular example appears to have snout-like stylised elements projecting from the outer rim.
