Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded but complete cast copper-alloy post-medieval plain double-looped buckle frame with surviving pin. It is trapezoidal, with a flat lower face and an upper face bevelled both internally and externally. This gives the frame a trapezoidal cross-section. The pin bar extends beyond the edge of the frame and terminates at each end with a rounded knopped protrusion. The pin is of looped construction. Viewed in profile one can see that the buckle is bent. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 82; refs. 506, 507, 509).

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval cast lead object: a palm guard, for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. In plan it is oval in shape, pointed at one end: it is 55.9mm in length, and 49mm at the widest part. It is convex, with a maximum thickness of about 15.4mm. The domed surface is marked by one incised line at one edge and the flat underside does not seem to have any visible markings. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.

A complete cast copper-alloy S-shaped belt hook fastener of late post-medieval to modern date (AD 1700-2000). One end of the fastener terminates in a snake's head while the other terminates in the form of a snake's tail. The fastener has moulded decoration in the form of small pellets which probably were intended to represent scales.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded cast copper-alloy gilded mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat and symmetrical, with rounded terminals and six knopped mouldings: one at each corner and two central. Any decoration on the surface has been hidden by the corrosion. The reverse features a pair of bent, pointed lugs which begin at the extremities of the terminals and curve round towards each other until they almost join. The mount's construction and decoration suggests a c. 17th-century date for it. Such a mount would have probably functioned as a strap fitting.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, no longer with its pin attached. There are decorative knops at each corner of the loops, and at either end of the pin bar. Central on each outer edge is a larger, moulded trefoil protrusion. The frame is seemingly internally and externally bevelled on the upper face. The reverse face is flat, giving it a trapezoidal cross-section (with rounded corners). The buckle frame is now worn with a mid/dark-green patina.

A post-medieval silver ear-scoop with a partially twisted stem leading to the scoop and a plain, pointed terminal at the other end probably fashioned for use as a toothpick.

A silver-gilt dress hook with trefoil-shaped back plate with cusped edge. The back-plate supports three hemispherical bosses, each with applied filigree ornament in the form of three circlets with granulated knops, the inner circlet of each with no knop. In the centre, an aperture which would have held a central rosette attached by a rivet (see Gaimster, D., et al, 'Tudor Silver-Gilt Dress-Hooks', The Antiquaries Journal, 2002, Vol. 82, pp. 157-196, fig. 5, p. 163). On the reverse is soldered an incurved hook; the fastening bar now missing.

A post-medieval gold finger ring which is formed through a series of vertical rectangles, each keyed to recieve enamel which survives in tiny amounts. Inside is an inscription stating "If you regard its' my reward:" However several letters are cut off at the top and bottom of the hoop, suggesting that the ring must have once been a simple straight-edged hoop, and has been cut down at a later date, perhaps to provide gold for other purposes.

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval fragment of twisted silver wire with thistle-shaped gilt finial, approximately 4.0 cm long. The object, which has been examined by a number of British Museum curators in different fields, is hard to place and no parallels have yet been found for it. The thistle-shaped terminal is reminiscent of those on late 15th Century silver spoons, but these lack the twisted wire. A tentative dating to the 16th Century is proposed here until further evidence comes to light.
