A very small copper alloy medieval belt or strap fitting with hanging decoration. The copper strap is formed of a single rectangular sheet bent over on itself and secure to the strap by two copper alloy rivets, both extant. The loop of the strap bar holds a small trefoil openwork mount. Although a very small example, this mount is probably of a similar date and function, being a strap mount or fitting dating from the 13th - 15th Century AD.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy mount of Roman date. It is rectangular in plan, terminating at one end with a crescent. The crescent is flat, but the rest of the mount is D shaped in section and is decorated with two transverse incised lines at each end. On the reverse are two integral fungiform rivets. The lunular mount has many Roman features such as the fungiform rivets and the crescent shape, so Roman date is suggested even though no close parallel has been found on the database. Another mount which is more complex but has some of the same features is SOM-54A823. The metal has a dark grey patina.

Object type: TOGGLE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete cast Roman copper alloy dumb bell toggle. The two small balls on each end of the toggle are separated by two sharp raised collars and a narrow 'waist' between them. The object is in good condition, with a solid green patina covering the surface and only very minimal powdery deterioration. It probably dates from the Roman period, based on the period of usage for the dumb bell style toggles. It measures 23.65 in length, 10.25 in width and weighs 10.41 grams. Compare to SWYOR-7C6B07. A similar example was found at Dragonby, North Lincs (May 1996, 274 no. 34, fig.11.21).
