A cast copper-alloy pin now independent of its frame, probably from a medieval annular buckle. It is solidly cast, with a cross-section in the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners.

Fragment consisting of the bow and upper foot from a copper-alloy cruciform brooch of probable 6th century date (500-550 AD). The fragment is broadly sub-rectangular in shape, with two projecting wings (lappets) at the top of the foot making it an upside down T-shape. In cross-section the brooch is broadly sub-rectangular. The upper part of the bow is broken; this edge is unpatinated, suggesting a recent break. The head of the brooch is lost. The bow has a distinct curve to its profile; in the centre the cross-section is D-shaped, as the bow swells at the mid-ridge. There is a hint…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast lead or lead alloy pilgrims ampulla dating from the medieval period; late 13th - late 15th century (1250-1450). The pilgrims’ ampulla has been folded in half irregularly – originally it was broadly sub-rectangular in plan and profile. The lower part has a rounded convex base that tapers slightly to form a waste at the mid point. This then flares outwards towards the upper edge. Where the ampulla sides flare there are two broken stumps (one on either side) where small integral cast loops would have fitted. It is likely that the damage to the artefact was caused pre-d…
