Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Unidentified copper-alloy object of unknown age. It is sub-circular, of fairly uniform thickness and slightly dished. It appears to be complete as there is no evidence of breaks. Close to one side there is a perfectly circular area, approximately one third of the total, which is flat. Beyond this it curves concavo-convexly in all directions all the way to the edge. On the generally convex face, the flat circle is covered with multiple very fine concentric and perfectly circular grooves and ridges. The outermost ridge is wider and expanded at one point to form a wide and short triangle…

An unidentified copper-alloy object of an uncertain, probably Medieval to Post Medieval, date. The extant piece is sub-rectangular in plan and flat. It has broken and jagged edges on all sides. One face is decorated with an unclear incised motif comprised of transverse grooves set between parallel incised borders. One element is broadly spiral shaped and the motif may continue, resembling a snail shell. On the reverse is a square-shaped prkecting element which may have functioned as soom form of lug indicating that the piece was mounted or suspended.

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy mount of uncertain Roman to medieval date. An elongated sub-rectangular strip of slightly asymeterical shape, no bent into an irregular C-shape. The outer face is undecorated and has a slight lip along one edge. The inner face is decorated with two wide, shallow, parallel, longitudinal grooves running along the centre, each featuring a line of incised ring-and-dot motifs placed alternately with one another. Either end is slightly bevelled and there is no obvious evidence of a break, although it may have been cut down from a larger object. Two circular ho…

Record ID: SF-55B843
Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy strap fitting of uncertain date. The object is a horizontally flattened, sub-oval loop shape with one side slightly straighter than the other. It has a pointed oval cross-section. There are areas of greater wear on each longer side, perhaps where a strap was attached originally, suggesting that it may be a section of horse gear. The surface of the metal is heavily worn and corroded. Without further diagnostic details the object is difficult to date precisely as loops such as these were used as strap and harness fittings from the Iron Age onwards.
