Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A symmetrical cast copper-alloy strap mount of Roman date. The mount is formed of two facing moulded creatures either side of a central element. This latter has rounded terminals, and three incurving removals on each side creating a pair of slight protrusions. The creatures join with the central element at their snouts (uppermost), their fore limbs or flippers (uppermost protrusions) and tails or hind limbs (lowermost).

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large pin cast in copper-alloy, probably from a medieval buckle. The pin is long, slender and tapers to a point. The other end has been bent round into a loop. On the internal face there is some recessing including a triangular nick to retain the loop. In plan the pin bends slightly in one direction. Viewed in profile the pin bends upwards slightly at the tip. Its colour is now a mid-dark green. The size and simplicity of the pin suggests that it may have come from a large buckle, as opposed to a brooch.

The figure is a female, probably representing Venus, and is unclothed apart from a garment draped around its waist extending slightly downwards below her left arm. The feet are absent following an old truncation. The red-brown colour to which this object has corroded is …
