Object type: SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy seal which is probably post medieval in date. The seal is formed from two sub-circular discs pressed together. It is 20mm long, 15.8mm wide and 3.7mm thick. Part of a design is visible on the smaller and less complete disc. It appears to be a ladder pattern of a row of rectangular boxes, above which is possibly a depiction of a chain running from side to side. Above that is a row of beading forming a border between the design and the legend. Just the bases of two letters in the legend can be seen; they may be F and A. The reverse is smooth. There was once a projecting loop…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy knop which is possibly Roman. The knob is 31.6mm thick, with a maximum diameter of 27.4 round the median flange. It is basically biconical, with a truncated and slightly domed top, concave upper sides curving to the medial band, and with the other cone elegantly extending into a shaft which flares out again at the bottom. There is a disc of metal on the base which seems to be acting like a rivet; it forms a thin, bruised, circular disc with a millimetre gap between the foot of the knob and the disc. The knob was presumably attached to a thin piece of metal, but not iron…

A copper alloy Headstud brooch from the early Roman period. The brooch is almost complete with just part of the pin, the headloop and the turnover of the catchplate missing. The brooch is 58.2mm long, 23.1mm wide and 13.9mm thick. It has a sprung pin with five coils of the spring on each side of the central spring loop.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy seal matrix which is circular and is medieval. The matrix is 19.5mm in diameter and is 6.8mm thick. There is a rib on the reverse which expands into a pierced lug at one end. The design appears to be an animal with four legs and a long tail in a tree. It is likely to represent a squirrel. The legend reads: " * SIGILLVM ANORIS", but the N should be an M making it "AMORIS", translating as 'the seal of love'. Another matrix with the same legend is recorded as IHS-D269D4 on the database, and another expressing a similar idea is IHS-54B227. The squirrel may represent secrecy…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy object which is essentially a split pin, but which may be a strap end of Medieval date. The object is 32.3mm long, 10.4mm wide and 6.4mm thick. It has a biconical head and a sub-rectangular shaft, most of which is divided by a slot which is 16.3mm long. The slot is 1.7mm thick so it seems more likely that the object was attached to leather than to a thicker material such as wood. Part of a copper-alloy rivet through the end of the shaft survives. Both faces of the shaft are decorated with incised lines along the edges like a border. The object has a deep brown patina wh…
