Record ID: WILT-317716
Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy strap-end bent a little at the centre, measuring 31.52x15.87x2.69mm and weighing 3.9g.
The strap-end comprises two plates, set slightly at odds with each other, both measuring 14.7mm wide at the open end. Both narrow a little and are c.14mm wide at the opposite end, where they lie exactly on top of one another. The ends have been cut in a rounded angle to give a triangular shape to the end. Both also have a rounded crescent-shaped knop protruding at the centre.
The plates are fixed with a rivet hole at the centre of either end.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy composite strap-end with forked spacer plate, measuring 25.20x15.45x2.37mm and weighing 3.02g. It has a small amount of damage at the open end.
The plates appear narrower than the forked spacer although this is probably due to edge damage. The strap end is fixed with a single off-centre rivet (now missing) from a c.2mm diameter hole at the open end, and another centrally placed at the apex of the opposite end.
Both top and bottom plate (c.0.5mm thick) are cut at an angle to form a triangle or inverted V-shape at the opposite end. The forked spac…

Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy open type thimble or 'sewing ring', slightly damaged, of Late Medieval to Early Post-Medieval date (1400-1600). The thimble measures 20.34mm diameter at the widest end (internal 17.09mm), narrowing to 18.40mm (internal 14.93mm) over a height of 10.45mm. It weighs 6.59g.
The walls are slightly splayed and angled. This is to allow an easier fit on the finger and is also chronologically diagnostic to the Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval periods (Holmes 1988, 3). The ring is decorated with functional circular punched depressions, arranged fairly regularly in five rows.
