Copper-alloy lidded container for a set of nested cup-weights. It is a truncated cone in shape with a sub-hexagonal base 26 mm in diameter at the bottom; the lid is 34 mm in diameter. The sides have four solid vertical ribs and two double ribs running from top to bottom. Each of the double ribs ends in a perforated lug, one pair empty and the other with a copper-alloy hinge bar. The lid has projections corresponding to the ribs, and projecting lugs by the double ribs each with a perforation. One is hinged on the bar, the other sits just above the double empty perforation and was pr…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Composite copper-alloy buckle frame and integral plate. The frame is oval with a distinct knop at the pin rest, and 22 mm wide. The integral forked spacer has a plate soldered to each face leaving a hole for the (missing) pin. There is a single copper-alloy rivet at the attachment end and the plate is 15 mm wide. The frame and spacer are a dark grey colour, and there are patches of dark grey coating on the plate; the dark grey probably represents a decayed white-metal coating. Length 41 mm.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
Large mount, probably from a belt, made of two pieces of copper alloy sheet held together with four rivets. Each sheet is basically rectangular with either short end cut into a double outcurve. Both sheets have a central circular perforation 5 mm in diameter. The rivets are placed in the centre of the outcurves and have disc heads at either end. Some fragmentary edges. Perhaps a decorative mount, or perhaps for reinforcing a hole in the strap. 41 x 21 mm.

Object type: BUTTON
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy button made in two pieces. The head of the button is hollow and biconvex, with a large hole in the shallowly domed back into which a circular-section wire loop is inserted. Possibly medieval, as it is similar in some respects to Egan and Pritchard 1991, no. 1386; but also perhaps much later, perhaps 17th century. 10 mm in diameter, and 10 mm from the front to the end of the loop.

Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of rim from a cast copper-alloy vessel, together with part of the angled handle lug which identifies it as a cauldron. The rim is smoothly polished inside and has oblique filemarks outside; both surfaces are black but this is very even and may be a deliberate coating rather than sooting. There are at least two breaks, one much more recent than the other. The handle is a faceted D-shape in section and is broken just below the rather rounded angle. The rim fragment is 56 x 23 mm maximum, and the handle projects 36 mm from the rim. The section of the handle is 10 x 10 mm.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy spacer plate from a composite strap-end. Apparently complete, it is penannular with pointed ends, with visible filemarks on both faces and a large (7 x 13 mm) knop in the centre. The knop is acorn-shaped with the cup cross-hatched on both faces, and sits on a moulding. The strap-end was probably originally circular with the two outer plates finishing at the moulding.

Object type: SPUR
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Terminal and fragment of side from a copper-alloy spur. The terminal is an in-line figure-8, attached to the side by one of the loops of the 8; this loop is very worn. There are two small side projections at the junction between the side and the terminal. The side is a low triangle in section and only 6.5 mm wide; as only about 15 mm of it survive it is hard to tell whether it would have been straight or curved under the ankle, but the way of joining the terminal suggests that it might have been curved. A late medieval date seems most appropriate. Overall length 28 mm.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object made from copper alloy. It consists of a rod of sub-square section, each side 4 mm and with rounded corners, now bent (no visible stress to the metal). At one end is a nicely modelled animal head with small knob-like ears, circular sunken eyes filled with ?glass, a short nose between rounded cheeks, and perhaps a slightly protruding tongue. If the rod is held so that both eyes are visible, the upper face is decorated with evenly spaced circular punchmarks which do not occur on the other faces. At the other end is a curious expanded ?terminal with four indentati…

Probable strap-end, of the type termed by Egan and Pritchard "folded sheeting, with wide gap at fold" (1991, nos. 743-56). Made out of a piece of copper-alloy strip which tapers from 14 to 9 mm wide, it is folded in half and each half has three rivet holes (one in the centre and two at the attachment end). The wider half forms the upper plate and is decorated with a faint line of double-triangle rouletting around three edges (the long edges and the attachment edge). There is a wide gap at the fold, as if to take a bar e.g. from a buckle frame, formed entirely by the upper half; the …

Chunky strap loop made from a piece of D-section copper-alloy rod bent in half with a wide loop at the bend. The two arms are held together with two copper-alloy rivets with sub-spherical heads and unobtrusive hammered-down ends. The loop is very worn internally at the reverse. The whole strap loop is gilded but there also appears to be a black coating over the top of the gilding (perhaps caused by the application of hot linseed oil, ironically intended to preserve the gold colour). Patches of gilding are visible on the scanned image. The space between the two arms (the thickness …

Copper-alloy strap-end of 'crescentic' type. The 'crescentic' end is actually sub-circular with an offset sub-circular perforation, the two ends of the crescent being joined. There is a pentagonal terminal, shorter than is usual on crescentic strap-ends, with relief decoration to represent a tree or bush. This has an off-centre circular perforation. The crescentic end is decorated with engraving to represent the roots of the tree or bush within a border. It has two separate copper-alloy rivets near the terminal, and two iron rivets nearer the attachment end; these would originally hav…

Two small fragments of rim from different cast copper-alloy cooking vessels. One is of a dark alloy, rough and sooted on the outside and polished smooth on the inside, with a turned-out rim.

The other is of paler greenish alloy, with a straight and rather thin rim; it is polished on the inside and has a vertical or slightly oblique rib on the outside. It measures 25 x 24 mm, and is 4 mm thick on the rib, and weighs 7.45g..
