WMID-1328C5: BUCKLE
A complete copper-alloy buckle frame of Medieval to Post-Medieval date, circa AD 1250 - 1500. The buckle is D-shape in plan and single looped. It has a narrow and off-set axis bar and the outer surface has bevelled edges. The pin is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The buckle is dark green in colour and has an even surface patina. Measurements: length 22mm, width 12.2mm, thickness 3.4mm, weight 1.5 grams Whitehead (2003: p.19, Nos. 53 & 54) states that cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckles with narrowed and offset strap bars are broadly dated to circa AD 1250 - 1500. Similar buckles have been recorded on the PAS database, here: WMID-EB44DC and WMID-05F79D.

WMID-12D2C7: AMPULLA
An incomplete lead alloy pilgrim's ampulla dating to the Medieval period, c. AD 1300 - 1500. The lead flask and a small amount of the neck remains. The ampulla has a circular body and a neck that extends outwards from one end. The faces of the object would have been flat or slightly convex, but have been pressed in, or flattened. One side has moulded decoration present, consisting of radiating ribs, forming a scallop shell motif. The other side is undecorated. The object measures 47.4mm in length and is 24.2mm wide at the top, and 31.1 mm wide at the base. It has a maximum thickness of 9.7mm and weighs 33.5 g. The object is a cream/brown colour with an even surface patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Ampullae were an important pilgrim souvenir known to have been in use from the late 12th century and were designed to contain a dose of thaumaturgic water, which would have been given to pilgrims at holy shrines and wells. The water would be taken as a cure to illness or disability or worn as a talisman. The popularity of ampulla dwindled in the early 14th century, giving way to pilgrim badges, however it is believed that they continued in use to the end of the 15th century. Similar scallop decorated ampullas have been recorded on the PAS database, at: WMID-23C650, GLO-A331B7 and LVPL-211804.

The buckle frame has a vertical axis bar and then a broadly D-shaped frame having a curved outer edge. This outer edge is splayed the inner edge being higher than the outer. this angled edge has deeply incised decoration creating a series of wavey patterns. The axis bar is recessed and slightly offset with knops projecting from its tips away from the frame. The buckle has a glossy medium green patina. The buckle is 21.4mm long, 16.7mm wide, 5.5mm thick and weighs 2.15 grams. Smiilar buckles are illustrated by Whitehead (2003: 28-29) which are suggested to date to c. AD 1500-1650

OXON-0DA0C2: BUCKLE
A complete highly decorated Medieval single loop trapezoidal shaped buckle and floral strap plate dating to c. AD 1250-1500. The buckle consists of an elongated trapezoidal buckle frame, an articulating pin and folded strap plate with quatrefoil applique. The frame of the buckle is an an elongated trapezoidal with an offset and slightly recessed strap bar. This is circular in cross section and narrower than the rest of the frame which is more of a bulbous oval in cross section. This has moulded decorative elements including a raised D-shaped knop projecting upwards from each narrow edge of the frame and two on the longest edge of the frame (creating a gap between to act as a rest for the pin). These mouldings are each marked by slightly bulbous protrusions from the side of the frame and incised arcs within which are traces of gilding. The pin is made of a copper alloy sheet, that is rectangular in cross section. One end is folded over itself and the axis bar to form a loop, The pin narrows after this loop into a rounded point. The pin has one moulded decorative collar which has diagonal incised lines running across it. The strap plate is made of a single broadly rectangular copper alloy plate that folds back on itself at its mid point to form a double plate. At this fold there is a rectangular cut out hole at the plate's centre to create a U-shape hole within which the pin is able to articulate. Similarly there are rectangular recessed on each side to allow the plate to not rub against either of the knops on the ends of the axis bar. After these cut outs the plate is rectagnular with a projecting tab extending from its outer edge. This has a moulded floral extension at its tip that is not present on the reverse. The plate is pierced by five holes on each side. Four are placed just inside the corners of the plate and contain spherical headed rivets (4.3mm diameter). The central hole also includes a rivetted on mount but this time with a projecting quatrefoil head with slight recesses for each petal and a slightly raised central circular knop. The plate also retains traces of gilding. The buckle is mostly a brown green colour. Combined the buckle is 58.8mm long, 39.7mm wide and 7.6mm thick. It weighs 28.00 grams. Similar trapezoidal buckles with plates are illustrated in Whitehead (2003: Nos. 119, 173) which suggests a date of c.AD1250-1500. This is supported by in context examples of trapezoidal buckles and particularly decorated plates illustrated by Egan and Pritchard (1991: 111-3) both of which dates this form from between AD 1250-1500.

KENT-FE5B8E: PIN
The incomplete head of an Early Medieval gilded copper alloy disc-headed pin, dating to c. AD 570 - 620. Description: The disc is flat and approximately circular, due to more than half of the original circumference missing. It has an outer raised border (it is along this that the missing part of the edge has broken away) and is pierced by two small circular holes. These holes are pproximately 1 mm in diameter and placed 3 mm apart, adjacent to and perpendicular to the border. These contain the remains of two copper alloy rivets, probably representing the means by which the head was attached to the missing shaft. The front is decorated by a chip-carved symmetrical design in Salin's style II; four devolved animal heads are attached to sinuous bodies, represented by triple-ribbed interlaced bands. The front retains extensive remains of gilding. The reverse of the disc is plain and undecorated. The ungilded parts of the object have a smooth, dark green patina. Measurements: Length 17.7 mm; Width: 17.1 mm; Thickness of Plate: 1.9 mm; Thickness of Plate with Rivets: 2.45 mm and Weight: 2.03 g. Discussion: This object appears to belong to Ross's Type LXXIV.ii (Fabricated Disc-Headed sub-type), where the head and shaft of the pin were made independently. This is a variant of the Witham type which Ross describes as having a discoid head plate with a diameter greater than 20 mm (the present example appears slightly smaller, although original diameter is not certain), a thickness of less than 3 mm and decorated on the obverse only. Most pins of this type have an additional hole on the right or left side, suggesting that they were linked with at least one other pin (as in the original Witham example). As the edge is incomplete, it is not possible to say whether this was the case for the present example, though such a piercing and attachment may have predisposed towards the damage sustained. Ross (1992, p.331) presents evidence that not all fabricated disc-headed pins started life in that form; the Witham pins, for instance are suggested to have been "cobbled together" from three gilt discs. The use of the Salin Style II decoration is uncommon as most pins of this kind are decorated in the 8th Century 'Mercian' style. Additionally, Early Medieval disc-headed pins are uncommon finds from Kent, with only one other (of a different sub-type) being recorded on this database KENT-C5B01A. As such, this has been designated a Find of Note.

NLM-FDFE46: FINGER RING
Copper alloy finger ring. Cast penannular band, tapering to opposed points opposite the bezel, which comprises a moulded bar with five small pits for inset glass stones [lost]. A moulded V appears at each shoulder. Probably a ‘fairing’ or item of trinket jewellery.

NMS-FDF930: PIN
Middle Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy pin with globular head and an integral collared shaft. The shaft is bent once (around 70-80 degrees) and may be complete. It measures approximately 42mm from the collar at base of the head to the tapering but blunt tip. The head is almost entirely covered with punched ring-and-dot impressions. There are four on the upper hemisphere, surrounding a small slightly-flattened area directly on top (opposite the shaft), seven around the middle, and six surrounding the shaft on the underside, none of which are particularly regularly-spaced. The shaft is circular in cross-section and slightly narrowed in diameter at the bend. The collar is more prominent on one side and of irregular thickness, probably due to surface deterioration. It is approximately 1.5mm wide. Similar to the NMS-7E47FA and NMS-64D8F1. Early 8th to mid-9th century. Length (estimated, unbent): 49mm. Diameter (head): 7.0mm, (shaft): 1.6mm. Weight: 1.8g.
