Cast copper alloy oval knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate iron spindle. The frame has a chamfered outer edge from the base inwards, at the back of the buckle, and an angled and hollowed inner edge. The spindle is made of iron and still holds the remains of the copper alloy tongue and chape, as there are iron corrosion products around the drilled holes and gaps in the chape. The pin is missing, but there is a v-shaped groove on the inside edge of one side of the frame which acted as the pin rest. The surface of the frame has a deep green patina and the upper face may have o…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy strip with a raised design of bunches of four leaves rising from a base line with small knops btween them against a red enamel background. The strip probably originally formed a ring and the elaborate decoration may suggest a finger ring rather than ferrule. The regularity of the design and it's style suggests a post medieval date c.1600-1800 although such a plain and item is hard to date precisely. The strip is 27.2mm long, 4.9mm wide and 1.1mm thick. It weighs 1.42 grams.

Nine coins. All of the coins belong to the English Short Cross coinage, the coinage in production in the period 1180-1247. Their details are listed in a catalogue below. At this point the silver penny was the only coin made in England. As official silver pennies of the kings of England, these coins would be of the sterling standard, i.e. about 92.5% fine metal.

The upper and lower faces have been flattened and the edges are slightly faceted to give an almost pointed oval shaped section.

Copper alloy Medieval circular buckle. The frame is circular in shape. The pin is attached to the frame via a loop of metal at one end. The pin is thick and fairly blunt, ruling out the possibility that this may instead have been a brooch. As is pointed out in Egan and Pritchard's Dress Accessories (1991, 64-65) there is occasionally some confusion between circular buckles and brooches of this period, but generally brooches are of a more elaborate constuction, with sharper pins, and with recesses into which the pin may fit. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 64) date buckles of this kind largel…
