Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object made from copper alloy and lead. Rectangular, flat and thick, it has six faces; two large front and back faces, two sides, and a top and bottom. One of the larger faces, both sides, certainly the top and also perhaps the bottom appear to have been made from a single piece of dark grey cast copper alloy which increases in thickness slightly from one short edge to the other. The other large face is made from a separate sheet of green copper alloy. There is an oval hole in the centre of this showing that the centre of the object is filled with lead. The hole ext…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object made out of copper-alloy sheet. It consists of a rectangular plate, 12 x 21 mm, and a broken projection which extends from the centre of one of the long edges. The plate is undecorated and curved slightly along the long axis. It has two empty rivet holes in the corners of the long edge opposite the projection, and a third rivet hole blocked with iron just by the base of the projection. On the concave face each hole has a surrounding patch of iron corrosion. The projection tapers from 5 mm wide as it emerges from the plate to 4 mm wide at the break. It is bent,…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of cast copper alloy. The fragment is curved, with two parallel bands of rounded convex moulding on the exterior; both bands have damage to them (hammer marks) and between these the metal is rough. The interior has a series of parallel flat facets, striations and hollows, set perpendicular to the mouldings on the exterior. All the edges have fresh unworn breaks, indicating that the metal is quite brittle. The metal is patinated a dark green all over, including the breaks. Length perpendicular to mouldings, 7 mm. Width parallel to mouldings, 28 mm. Thickness 4 mm. It is …

Record ID: SF-0FE267
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object made from copper alloy. It is flat and decorated on one face only. One end flares out to become U-shaped, with a straight end 8 mm wide. It is decorated with five transverse ridges within a border ridge. At the other end, a very narrow shaft extends from the curved end of the U; this is now bent and corroded, but was originally perhaps circular in cross-section and is now presumably broken. The surviving length is 19 mm. The metal is a greyish copper alloy. Neither the form nor the decoration of this object appear to be of any help in assigning a date or function.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified fragment of copper-alloy sheet with engraved decoration. The edges are now curved (one concave, the rest convex) and it is unclear if they are cut or broken. There is a single wavy groove roughly parallel to the concave edge, with a pair of short grooves running in the same direction to one side, and two rows of short grooves running perpendicular to this on the other side. Neither the form nor the decoration help in assigning a date to this object.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An unidentified object made from lead. The base is rectangular (20 x 13 mm) with a rectangular projection at each corner bringing the maximum dimensions up to 23 x 17 mm; it is 10-11 mm thick. The rectangular projections continue up the base on the long edges but not on the short edges, giving a tapering effect. The underside of the base has a series of scratched lines forming a rough ziz-zag of perhaps five points, with a line beneath them; the lines are patinated and look as if they might be original. On the top of the base are two tall cones which bend slightly towards each ot…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of unidentified object made of copper alloy, perhaps part of a decorative binding ring. Part of a hollow cylinder survives, with a thick triangular projection extending at right angles to the cylinder on the outside. The inside of the cylinder has a brown corrosion that is not found elsewhere on the fragment. The cylinder fragment measures 20 x 15 mm (one of the short edges being a probable original edge); the projection measures 7 x 13 mm at base and is 11 mm tall.

Record ID: SF5250
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Mystery object made of iron and also probably of copper alloy. As far as can be seen, the object consists of a circular-section iron rod, flattened and widened in the centre, bent into a U shape. On the outer curve of the U is some smooth greenish metal, perhaps an elongated copper-alloy plate, with a blob of iron in the centre which may be the remains of a rivet holding the copper alloy on. Although both ends of the iron rod are broken, the most complete tapers to 5 mm in diameter; the centre of the U has expanded to 11 mm wide and 3 mm thick. This is perhaps similar to one from …

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Mount made of copper alloy, sub-square with each side measuring 15 mm, and nearly 4 mm thick. On the reverse are the stubs of two slender attachment spikes or rivets. The front is decorated with a low-relief pattern with each strand emphasised by grooves. There is a double-strand border, around a double-strand cross which runs between the corners of the sub-square. The outer strand of the border has transverse grooves giving a beaded effect. The double stands of the cross interlace at the centre, and in the angles of the cross are radial grooves. The decoration is slightly obscu…

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Irregular perforated weight or spindle-whorl made from chalk. Sub-rectangular with rounded corners when viewed either from the top or the side, it measures 27 x 34 mm and is 15 mm thick. It is either not particularly well made or has suffered some damage, as it has a rather lumpy outline. The circular perforation is a little off-centre and is symmetrically waisted, narrowing slightly to c. 10 mm minimum diameter. Weights like this one are usually interpreted as spindle-whorls, but a rectangular weight would perhaps not make a very good whorl as it would not turn evenly. They canno…

Record ID: SF3598
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unidentified object made from copper alloy and iron. It is flattish and consists of a disc with a long pointed projection. The disc is 16 mm in diameter and mainly composed of iron, with a depression in the centre which may once have been a perforation. Around the edge of the disc, at least on one face, is a short length of copper alloy which curves around and then projects out to end in what may be a relief animal head. The poor condition of the object means that it is hard to decide even if the animal head is in profile or full-face; it is just possible that it has been subjecte…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Small, roughly hemispherical, gold droplet with rounded upper surface and flattish lumpy reverse. The surface is pitted all over. The diameter varies from c. 6 to c. 7 mm and the thickness is c. 4 mm at most. This droplet is undatable; although there is no particular reason to believe that it is over 300 years old, an ancient origin is possible and so it has been recorded.

Object type: TWEEZERS
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Part of one arm of a pair of tweezers. It flares from 7 mm wide at the fairly fresh break, to 8.5 mm close to the bottom; it becomes a little narrower at the turned-in end, but this may be due to edge damage. The arm is flat and the end is turned in at right angles. There is no decoration, and so the fragment is hard to date; it could date to anywhere from the Roman to the medieval period.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unusual and hard-to-date strap-end made from copper alloy. The attachment end is broken off, and the strap-end now consists only of one sheet 27.5 mm long, decorated on one face with five ring-and-dot motifs, tapering from 9 mm wide at the broken end to 8 mm wide at the narrower end which has two curved cut-outs at the corners. Off centre, between the ring-and-dot at the narrow end and its neighbour, is a small copper-alloy rivet which cuts through the ring. This strap-end is certainly post-Roman, and may be early Anglo-Saxon; it is not middle or late Anglo-Saxon, but may be medieval.

Lead alloy disc, 36.5 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick, with a ?copper-alloy tube attached to the reverse, presumably to make the object a mount, and filled with lead alloy. The front of the disc has relief decoration of a triple-strand border around two concentric hexagons both with incurved sides. In the centre of the inner hexagon are six radiating lines. This object has been shown to various curators at the British Museum (Leslie Webster and Susan Youngs of Medieval and Modern Europe, and Gareth Williams and Barrie Cook of Coins and Medals); all agree that it is very unlikely to be a…
