Fragment of a Roman copper alloy armlet dating late 3rd - 4th century. This is a small rectangular fragment of a Roman armlet. It has a slightly concave profile. It is decorated with two sets of parallel lines, with a series of dots running through the middle of each set of lines. One of the longest edges is significantly warn, which could indicate a break. This would suggest that the object was not an armlet, but rather a more cylindrical object. There are no exact parallels for this style of bracelet, but Nina Crummy states that most copper alloy bracelets date to the late 3rd-4…

An incomplete medieval copper alloy buckle plate dating to the 15th century. The plate is formed of a single sheet of copper alloy which would have been folded to form a back plate with two rectangular projections along the folded edge to allow the axis bar of the buckle to pass through. There is a rivet still in situ just beneath the folded edge which would have connected the two plates to the strap. There are two circular perforations along the opposite edge, which would have been further attachments. The rivets are no longer in situ. Much of the back plate is broken away and missin…

The two halves are connected by a socket on one side and a bolt on the other. The top of one loop is broken and only a zoomorphic terminal and centrepiece remains on the other loop. It is believed tha…
