Incomplete medieval copper alloy key dating to the period c. AD 1100 - 1400. It exhibits a trapezoidal bow with oval aperture and shoulders at the junction with the hollow shank. There is a hole 22.2mm long in the side of the shank, likely caused by post-depositional damage. The bit is on the same plane as the bow and projects from the end of the shank at a right angle. File marks cover much of the object.

Medieval to post medieval copper alloy double loop buckle. The buckle has a narrowed central strap bar which exhibits traces of iron corrosion, probably from the missing pin. An oval loop expands from either side of the strap bar, each one thickening towards the outside edge. The inside edge of each loop exhibits a filed V-shaped pin rest. The inside edge of each loop exhibits eight filed grooves, four on either side of the pin rest, giving the outer edge a cusped appearance. The buckle has been distorted out of shape. A similar example is discussed in Whitehead, R, 2003, p. 60, no. 354.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy unidentified object of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1350 - 1700). The object is in the form of a thimble, with a domed crown and expanded mouth, however, it lacks any indentations, hles or pits, usually seen on thimbles. The thimble may be unfinished, or may be part of another object such as a ferrule or end cap from a cane or similar. Wrinkles and folds in the sides may suggest that it was made using the stamping and hammering method (Holmes, 1999, p.1). A similar example, recorded on the database as a thimble is: SWYOR-F51B11.
