Cast copper alloy Zulu assegai (stabbing spear) blade of the Umkhonto (long-bladed spear) type, with a tapering tang bound secured with a woven wire collar into a short wooden haft.

Record ID: PUBLIC-5FB0C7
Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northumberland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic buckle. The buckle is D-shaped with a broad outer frame and narrowed bar. The outer frame has a pin rest in the middle of the outer frame, with shallow cast grooves across the breadth of the frame, which become increasingly angles and more closely spaced as the frame joins the bar. The terminals of the frame bear worn, facing beasts' heads, from which the bar emerged. The frame is bevelled but flattens towards the strap bar, with the lower edge projecting more than the upper edge. The pin is missing.
