A cast, lead alloy artefact, possibly a badge of Medieval or early post-Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1600. It is in the shape of a small anchor. The underside is flat and the upper sides of the stock, shank and arms are bevelled. One of the arms has broken away and is missing (the break is patinated), and the other has been bent sideways up towards the stock or cross bar. There is no evidence of mounting points on the underside, not any other form of attachment, suggesting it was originally sewn in place by wrapping thread round the object. The lack of any perforation makes it unlik…

A cast, lead alloy artefact, possibly a fragment of a badge of Medieval or post-Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1800. It is roughly square in shape with rounded corners, but the edges are likely to be broken, though they are worn. Protruding from one corner is a small spur of metal, perhaps once part of another element that has now broken away and is missing. The underside of the artefact is undecorated. It is thicker in the centre. Possibly this is two layers of metal, perhaps a projecting tab which has been bent over and flattened against the main object. A groove on each side if the…

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A badly corroded copper alloy annular buckle probably of a type called a disc-on-pin brooch. It has a corroded circular frame with a constriction for the pin. An unusual feature of the frame is two recesses on the reverse of the frame. These would have held a separate narrow bar, which would have divided the circle in half, forming a cross with the pin. The pin and bar do not survive except for a tiny fragment of one end of the bar which is copper alloy but of a different composition to the frame. Other brooches with an additional bar also have an elaborate pin with a disc or ring mou…
