Object type: AMPULLA
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Slightly damaged lead alloy Medieval ampulla. The ampulla is a bag or flask shape that is waisted towards the middle. There are triangular lug handles to either side, set where the more bulbous body joins the narrower tapering neck. The handles are not quite laterally aligned with one positioned lower than the other.  The top is damaged and is split and lipped over to one face, probably as a result of post-depositional impact damage rather than any contemporary attempt to force it open or shut. The iconographic decoration is raised and bifacial, with one face consis…

Copper alloy object, possibly the goad terminal of a Medieval prick spur. The terminal end has a flat-tipped pyramidal shape with a circular recess at the apex. At the base angle of the pyramid, there is an angular bevel on three of the four sides. From the slightly rectangular flat base a circular stub projects with a distorted broken, or possibly even cut end, which is possibly the remnant of the neck. There is an overall green colouration with patches of dark brown patina. The surface has no trace of iron corrosion and the object does not react to a magnet. Simi…

Complete late Medieval copper alloy purse hanger frame with niello inlay decoration. From the base of a narrow rectangular strap loop a semi-oval loop projects down and forwards curving back on itself towards the base of the strap loop from which it sprung. Just short of the return to the strap loop it bifurcates into two arms. One arm juts downwards in a short tapering projection to restrict the upper part of the semi-oval loop. The other arm continues the frame and turns abruptly to run upwards slightly obliquely to the plane of the loop. Just beyond the terminal end of the…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval copper alloy 'disc-on-pin' buckle frame. The annular frame is divided in half by a non-integral narrower bar let into the reverse of the frame. The frame is pinched over the bar retaining it flush with the lower edge of the frame. The frame has a wide 'brooch-like' pin restriction, set such that the line of the missing pin would run perpendicular to the bar. The configuration is that of a disc-on-pin buckle but the lack of a surviving pin precludes any further classification. Circa AD1250-1500. Dimensions; Diameter 24mm, weight 4.67g.

Medieval copper alloy horse harness pendant hanger. T-shaped in plan with a transverse rectangular strap attachment bar of triangular cross-section. On the reverse of each wing of the bar is a thick integral rivet with an upset end. In the centre of the lower edge of the bar, projecting perpendicularly is an integral bifurcated hanger, which also initially has a triangular cross-section before it splits into two pierced hanger arm loops that would have suspended the pendant from an iron pin passing transversely between them.

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Damaged and distorted copper-alloy Medieval thimble. Dome-shaped top with slightly tapering sides to the body, with a plain basal band. The lack of raised distortion around the rows of hand-made circular indentations suggests they are drilled rather than punched. When viewed from the base the indentations travel in a left-hand spiral direction up towards the top. The base is split and distorted, but there is no sign of a seam. Circa AD 1350-1500. Dimensions; Height 20mm, estimated basal diameter 19mm, weight 9.83g.

The bar mount attached to the folding end plate is missing. The non-recessed undecorated clasp plate is folded back on itself laterally around the frame.
