Object type: LAMP HANGER
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy suspension device probably for a hanging lamp. There is a tall central stem which ends in a large circular loop (11.2mm across externally, 3.9mm diameter internally). The stem is roughly square in section and at its base is a triangle whose corners are all extended into arms. Two are broken following old damage, while the other one ends 16.4mm from the stem and terminates in an expanded pierced lug. On the underside of the triangle, continuing the line of the stem, are the beginnings of a fourth lug. Similar objects are illustrated in Read (2001, 127; refs. 9…

A worn cast copper-alloy medieval mount. Trefoil mount with zigzag leaf stem. The leaves are further delineated by incised grooves. The two flanking leaves are slightly larger than the central leaf; all three feature a central knop. The reverse is flat and not incised. There is a circular perforation, larger on the reverse, through which a rivet would have travelled. Leaf-shaped mounts illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 200-202; refs. 1088-1090) are dated to first half of the 15th century.

Object type: PURSE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A well-preserved medieval cast copper-alloy purse hanger. A three arched example with a central inverted keyhole-shaped opening flanked by a pair of open semicircles. The two prongs at the top echo the cusps in the external angles between the arches. The ends feature collared expanded terminals. Purse hangers were freely swinging, held at each end, usually by a bar mount, to a girdle. When they were not used to attach purses to belts such objects were often used to attach knives. There is a close, albeit broken, parallel illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 219-224; ref. 1197)…
