Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of openwork copper-alloy plate, probably a buckle plate and either late Roman or Anglo-Saxon (seventh/early eighth century) in date. It measures 21.5 mm wide and the surviving length is 24 mm. There are two complete T-shaped cut-outs which are oriented with the crossbars parallel to the long edges and the stems pointing towards the middle of the plate. There is another pair of cut-outs, both probably identical, on either side of the complete pair, but the plate is now broken across both of these and the edges have corroded. The upper surface of the plate is covered with qu…

Copper-alloy pin. The head is a flattened knob, 7.5 mm in diameter and 4 mm thick. Below are two substantial grooves with a narrow ridge in between, and below this it widens to the top of the shaft. The shaft is circular in cross-section and 3.5 mm in diameter at the top. It tapers gently to a stepped break, showing that the shaft was made by hammering together two narrower pieces of metal. The pin is fairly corroded and the break looks quite old. Cool’s type 6, dated to the second half of the first and the second century AD and concentrated in eastern England. Surviving lengt…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy finger-ring of Henig II and III/Guiraud 2 type. Only the shoulders and bezel survive; the shoulders flare to the oval bezel, and are decorated with two border grooves forming a V shape; there may also be a transverse groove just beyond the point of the V. The bezel has an oval cell measuring 10 x 8 mm, which retains some brown material - probably fine soil, rather than the remains of an adhesive for the missing setting. One break is old, the other fresh; the fresh break is a little way along what appears to be a parallel-sided hoop 4 mm wide. Roman, first or second cen…

Wax spatula handle of Feugère's type A3.

The front and back facets then flatten towards transverse ridges; below the ridges the handle flares out more strongly to form a flattened triangle. The lower half of this is split to hold the iron blade - traces of iron survive - and is decorated with a pair of transverse grooves. At the split end, one corner of one face is missing, but otherwise the handle is complete. Spatula ha…

Copper-alloy pendant. The loop is broken, but would originally have been wide and circular; the breaks are old and corroded. Below the loop, the pendant is oval in cross-section. At the top is a globular area, then a ridge encircling the whole cross-section, then a long drop-shaped area ending in a small knobbed terminal. It is similar to Oldenstein (1976) no. 413, which he calls a phallic pendant. Surviving length 32 mm, width 10 mm, thickness 7.5 mm.

Miniature axe made from copper alloy. The blade is almost rectangular, tapering very slightly towards the blade end which is decorated on one face with three transverse grooves. The grooves are visible when the axe is held with the blade to the left and the shaft to the right. The shaft is circular in cross-section; where the original surface survives it is 3 mm in diameter. The shaft is set very slightly in from the butt of the axehead, but as many of the edges are fragmentary it is hard to tell exactly where the original edge of the butt was.

Unidentified object. Made from lead, it is roughly circular but all its edges may be broken. It is slightly dished, and on the convex face is a raised circle 13 mm in diameter in which is a relief mark, perhaps a W with a horizontal line through it, or perhaps a pair of Xs. On the concave face, opposite the mark, is a sunken square measuring 3 x 5 mm. It has been suggested that this might be the base of a pewter vessel, and Roman, but no parallel has been found.

Copper-alloy mount. It is basically almost circular, 16 x 17 mm, and is plano-convex, with a flat reverse and domed upper surface. Two oval perforations with small stems breaking through the edge turn this into a mushroom- or pelta-shape, the stalk of the mushroom having an expanded base. On the reverse is an integral spike or rivet. The mount itself is 6 mm thick; the rivet increases this to 12 mm. These mounts are not common and it is possible that they are military armour or horse-harness fittings.

One plate from a strap-end, made from very thin copper alloy. It is of the 'lancet-shaped' late Roman type, with a rounded body and flared attachment end, but is very much more flimsy than most. The attachment end is decoratively cut into a curly bracket shape, and has a single central rivet hole. The body of the strap-end has four rather unevenly placed central ring-and-dot motifs, and tapered to a broken point which probably originally extended into a short terminal. On the reverse are extensive traces of solder, running up to a straight line close to the junction between the att…

Terminal from a snake-ring, made from a very greyish soft metal, apparently a lead alloy. The hoop of the ring is circular in cross-section at the break, 3 mm in diameter; it quickly flares out to form a snake's head bezel which is 10 mm wide and 3 mm thick. The head is oval or lozengiform, and is quite stylised, with grooves along the edge on the rear half of the head but no other visible decoration. The head tapers into the hoop with no border between them, and the fragment is strongly curved to fit around the finger.
