Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy unidentified object. The object has a worn and probably incomplete split terminal that appears to have some iron corrosion between it. A 'C' shaped section of frame curves off the back of the split terminal. This area looks slightly irregular though just before the break on one arm there is a faceted area that may represent an animal biting onto the frame. The object has been silvered or tinned and might be a buckle.

Object type: HARNESS MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy harness mount with a hinge fitting at one end which is probably medieval in date. The plate is lozenge shaped in plan, with a trilobed projection from the centre of each edge. The front of the plate is decorated with a quatrefoil shape cast as a recess. There are also two circular rivet holes, one at each end of the plate. At one end of the plate projects a double lug, one of which is broken, with a transverse circular hole through the surviving lug. This is part of a hinge fitting. A late medieval date is the most likely.
