Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Recorded at the Hidden Treasure Finds Day at National Museums & Galleries of Wales. Medieval copper alloy buckle of unusual form. The buckle has broken and is distorted but is complete, except for the missing pin. The buckle has a single loop frame with a central bar. The outside edge of the frame is decorated with a projecting zoomorphic head and the inside edge has a ridged triangular projection.

Workflow stage: Published
Cast lead-alloy whistle in the shape of a pipe bowl, probably late 19th century in date. The pipe bowl is similar to clay pipe examples and is decorated with moulded decoration consisting of joined semicircles and small raised knops. The base of the bowl ends in a pointed spike. Casting flashes are prominent on both sides. Iron corrosion is evident on the rim, suggesting an iron collar. The beginning of the stem is intact, and it is unclear if the stem was also made of a lead alloy, ceramic or other material. See NARC-6E7E81 for a similar example. Further information on this artefa…

A strap mount cast from copper alloy. The mount has a light green patina and shows areas on both the front and reverse of corrosion and pitting. On the front there are traces of a silvering or tinning, but this has been severly abraided and is now only visible in places. The mount is broadly of a sub-elongated triangle in plan. The edges have been abraided and rounded in the plough-soil causing the mount to become a-symetrical. The end tip of the mount (the tip of the triangle) is lentoid in plan, flaring then narrowing to a small shoulder, the body then flares again…

At the head is the remnant of a flat plate, possibly from a chain loop. The head is comparatively long and has a sub-rectangular section. The only decoration on the head is a short rectangular cast rib and a moulded oval at the junction with the bow, in place of the headstud. The Bow is at a right angle to the he…
