Record ID: CORN-C6FC70
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy horse harness mount, circular in plan and domed and stepped in profile, with moulded concentric circles and a central circular stud. On the back of the mount, there is one integral lug remaining on one edge, and there appears to have been another lug on the opposite side, but the edge is too abraded to be sure.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar harness mount on page 184, No.1261, which dates from the 18th to the 19th century.
Bailey (1992) illustrates a similar example with a central securing rivet on page 90, No.50, which dates from the 18th to the 19th century.

Broad period: MODERN
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy horse harness mount, shield-shaped in plan with a curved knop at the top of the shield, curvilinear sides, tapering to a pointed terminal. There is lettering on the face of the mount, but it is too corroded to make out any words. The back of the mount has an incuse crown above the letters 'T H', and another crown below the letters. These letters may represent the initials of the owner. There is also an 'H' below the central circular lug, which has the remains of a steel pin in it and is surrounded by iron corrosion product. This mount was probably attached to one of t…

Record ID: BH-C0E561
Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy strap-end of late early-medieval to medieval date. The style of this piece, in particular the Romanesque zoomorphic terminal, points towards an 11th to 12th century date. For a similar strap-end, see BH-184107. The attachment end consists of two plates either side of a central gap. The strap would originally have slotted into this central gap and would have been held in place by two copper-alloy rivets, one of which survives at each corner. The attachment end tapers into a plain central element, the two parts being separated by two transverse grooves with a ridge in bet…

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Solid gold penannular bracelet with slightly expanded terminals. Bracelet is light gold in colour, whole and undecorated. The terminals have been flattened, producing a small rim. Both faces of the terminals measure 9mm across and have minor indentations. The bracelet has a circular cross-section.
Min Diameter - 94mm; Max Diameter - 110mm; Wt. 386g; Thickness - 8mm
This penannular bracelet with expanded terminals may date to the Late Bronze Age (c. 1000 BC - 750 BC) and potentially similar objects have been found throughout southern England (Taylor 1980; Eogan 1994). It is perhaps…

Record ID: WILT-C089F5
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possibly Prehistoric stone implement, possibly a ground and polished axehead. It measures 72.3mm in length, is max.62.6mm wide and min.45.9mm wide. It is 16.4mm thick and weighs 127.46g.
The implement is curious in its size, being almost as wide as it is long, possibly suggesting it has been reused. If an axehead, both the cutting (widest) end and hafting (shorter) end have been worked to a point. The wider end is also rather lop-sided. The long edges too are worked to a point, so that the object as a whole is lenticular in section.
A curious striation on the surface of the objec…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy frame from a Single-loop buckle of medieval date. Evidence from excavations in London suggests that the fashion for ornate buckle frames and plates probably spanned the period of the late 12th to late 14th centuries AD (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p.76).
The frame is roughly D-shaped and has an offset axis bar of sub-oval section. The top and bottom sides expand gradually, both in width and thickness, towards the centre of the outer side. This central element is unsually thick and has an incised pin rest in its upper edge. At each end the central element is separated f…

Object type: BLADE

County: West Sussex

Part of a worked flint blade. The blade has been snapped at both ends but some percussion waves are visible on the ventral face. The snap at the distal end is even with two straight facets, at the proximal end it is jagged and probably not deliberte. The proximal half of the left edge (looking from the ventral side) is also snapped, removing the cutting edge. The blade has been extensively retouched, invasive, shallow semi-parallel retouch covers the entire dorsal face and c.50% of the ventral face, concentrated at the proximal end. It appears the blade was being formed into a tool, po…

Incomplete cast and incised copper alloy bi-conical (globular) faceted pin with faceted medial band of probable middle Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date (700-900 AD). The pin measures 22.3mm length, 12mm wide and 12.5mm thick. It weighs 8.06 grams.
The pin can be divided into three parts; the head, the collar, and the shank. The head of the pin is faceted being broadly sub-spherical in shape. The upper part of the head has five angular facets which are irregular triangles in shape. These are decorated with three cast recessed hollows arranged in a triangle which respects the shape …

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead weight which is circular in plan. It has a raised rim and raised lettering on both sides. The lettering appears to be an A or a V on one side and then a SN or NS on the other.
This could be referring to the weight, or to the thing it was meant to weigh, or the trader who made/used the weight.
These types of weight are difficult to date as little work has been carried out on them and they were used for such long periods. It is most likely that this example dates to the Post-Medieval period.

Incomplete cast lead or lead alloy pilgrims ampulla dating from the medieval period; late 13th - late 15th century (1250-1450). The pilgrims’ ampulla is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and profile. The lower part has a rounded convex base which expands and then tapers slightly to form a waste at the mid point. This then flares outwards towards the upper edge which has been damaged. Where the ampulla sides flare there are two small integral cast loops with an angular profile, being broadly triangular in shape, and oval in cross section (thickness 2.6mm). The lower and upper parts of t…

Cast copper alloy circular medieval harness pendant. It is circular in plan with a circular suspension loop set perpendicular to the main body. It has a design on the front and is plain on the reverse. The design consists of 2 horizontal lines which are concave and would have held enamel. Above this are 3 circles which would also have been infilled with enamel. This design appears to match that of the Wake family crest. The enamel in the stripes and dots would have been red and the rest of the pendant would have been yellow. The Wake family first appear in Lincolnshire where they were…

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wrexham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy seal matrix of post medieval date (1600 - 1700 AD). The seal matrix is formed from four arms arranged in a cross when viewed in plan. The end of each cross terminates in an oval shaped face which has been incised with an individual design. The four arms conjoin to form an irregular central ring or hole. The edges of this vary in thickness and width possibly forming a decorative rose. One part of the central hole has more wear on it, suggesting that it was suspended at this point. The diameter of the hole is 6.8mm. Each arm has a relatively slender faceted stem, which …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy Double-loop trapezoidal buckle of suggested late 16th to 17th century AD date (Whitehead, 1996, p. 82).
The buckle is now bent but would originally have been symmetrical, each side being trapezoidal in plan. The upper surface of the buckle is flat, the outer edge slopes downwards at approximately forty-five degrees and the inner edge is vertical. The underside of the buckle is flat. The central axis bar is semi-circular in section and has a projecting knop at each end. The pin is missing. The surfaces of the buckle have a white-metal coating.
