A worn and damaged cast copper-alloy medieval strap-clasp. This comprises a number of joined elements: plate, frame, rotating end, bar mount. The frame (W.: 25.5mm, L.: 18.7mm) is of sub-oval shape and appears to be made of an alloy with a higher tin content than the rest of the artefact. At one end of the frame is a bar around which an element would have rotated; the latter has corroded onto the frame and is now immovable. In shape the rotating end (L.: 10.0mm, W.: 16.3mm-22.5mm) mirrors the frame and, in it present folded position, covers approximately half of it. At the widest poin…

Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy coin weight for a post-medieval gold angel. The weight weighs 4.6 grams and measures 16.8 mm in diameter. The obverse depicts the archangel Michael, spearing a dragon through its mouth. The reverse is unadorned. Such coin weights were used from 1464, during the reign of Edward IV to the reign of Charles I, ceasing to be used at around 1632 (Withers and Withers 1993, 20). However, the weight was lowered from 80 grains to 71 in 1604 and lowered again in 1619 to 65 1/2 grains. As this weight measures 4.6 grams (70.5 grains) it is possible to say that it dates from betwee…
