An incomplete copper-alloy medieval frame, from a folding strap clasp. It consists of the outside edge with integrally cast ?mitred head, and incomplete and fragmentary arms of the frame. The axis bar does not survive.
In profile, the basic frame is [-shaped, with file marks on the reverse. The moulded head adds a triangular dimension to the long side of the [.
The face is oval and cut off just over half way by the slanting lines of the mitre, both rising from the outside edge to the middle where they meet. Above this is a 1mm wide rim before a 7mm long rib runs perpendicular to it,…

Record ID: WILT-99A2E6
Object type: HARNESS PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval copper alloy openwork (probable) harness pendant in the form of an eagle, missing its loop.
The eagle has its head left (as you look at it) and tall wings, that stretch from just below the head to just above the feet (the legs with three-clawed feet being either side of the tail, bifurcated at its end, all three of which extend to the bottom of the pendant). It is openwork between head and neck and wings, tail and legs.
The pendant is rather worn but the wings have longitudinal ribs and perhaps a tiny trace of gilding survives (on the wings). It is flat on the reverse and m…

Record ID: WILT-DF3012
Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Very crude lead alloy seal matrix, medieval in date, probably c.13th/ 14th century in date.
The seal matrix is circular in shape (diameter c.32mm) and 6mm thick with a rough line running around the circumference, perhaps suggesting the inscribed surface was a top layer added to the matrix. The seal matrix is squashed to one side.
On the reverse an oval section shank (roughly 8x7mm) extends 25mm and is pushed over to one side, the side of the seal matrix that is squashed.
The inscription reads +SIGILLI WILELMIDE[...], trailing into the squashed area. It is missing c.5 character…

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of Roman copper alloy bracelet (41.4mm in length) with deep grooves and punched ring-and-dot decoration.
The fragment appears to be broken at both ends, although the break at the wider end (7.6mm) is very smooth and almost looks like a deliberate cut. It is also a little on-the-slant.
The fragment is curving in profile and rectangular in section with a smooth underside. It is max.2.4mm thick.
From the narrower end (6.7mm wide, rough-ish break) are two panels each with a large central dot surrounded by two concentric rings. The panels are divided by slightly slanted gr…
