Kevin Leahy (NFA Post Roman artefacts) comments: I don't know what to make of the 'pommel'. The animal's head is nicely modelled and the incised decoration is neat but I am struggling to get to work as a pommel. I am not sure about the round holes and the general form of the thing. (8th April 2014)

An incomplete copper alloy artefact of uncertain identification and function, possibly a sword pommel of Early Medieval to Medieval dating (AD 700 to AD 1500).
The artefact is sub cuboid in shape. A circular perforation (hole) is present in the base, with an internal diameter of 8.3 mm. A sub circular flat border is present around this perforation. Possible arms extend to either side. These arms curve upwards, with a recurved tip. The top of this possible sword pommel extends with these curvilinear shapes and it has been folded over with the tip touching the base.
It measures 63.7 mm in length, 26.5 mm wide and 27.5 mm tall. It weighs 115.3 g.
The artefact is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. The possible pommel may have been affected by heat, which has resulted in the deformation of the artefact.

Kevin Leahy (NFA Post Roman artefacts) comments: The Style I mount is also odd, it looks superficially OK but the details are incomprehensible. We have what might be hips and legs but no toes and the ribbing across the pear-shaped hips doesn't look right. The is a pellet which might be an eye but this does not fit into any head that I can see. I wonder if it is a blundered attempt at Style I (8th April 2014).

A complete gilt copper alloy plaque or inlay, of Early Medieval dating (AD 750 to AD 1200).
The plaque is rectangular in shape, with moulded decoration (?Style 1) on the front. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The decoration on the front bears similarity to that of the Tiermensch or 'beastman' motif. The decoration consists of several motifs, each appears to be multistranded. Gilding survives in the recesses.
It measures 26.6 mm in length, 13.0 mm wide and 1.9 mm thick. It weighs 2.8 g.
The plaque is a dark green to gold colour, with an even surface patina.
Several similar plaques have been recorded on the PAS database including: NCL-AED1F3; SF-4DE4E1; DOR-4F44A2; SOM-7F2A01.

A complete single loop kidney shaped buckle frame and pin, of Late Medieval dating (AD 1450 to AD 1550).
The buckle frame and pin are present, the strap plate is missing, presumed lost in antiquity.
The buckle frame is kidney shaped with a triangular knop at the centre point, acting as a pin rest. The loops of the buckle frame has been decorated. The decoration consists of a groove to either side, parallel to the edge, and a row of raised squares betweem. The strap bar is offset, and rounded knops are present at either end. The pin has been made from a triangular piece of sheet copper alloy metal, with the wide end wrapped around the strap bar.
The buckle frame measures 15.1 mm in length, 25.9 mm wide and 2.2 mm thick. The pin measures12.6 mm in length, 3.7 mm maximum width and 1.5 mm thick. It weighs 3.3 g.
The buckle frame is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.

A complete copper alloy modified probable strap clasp, of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1400 to AD 1500).
The probable strap clasp frame is sub rectangular in plan, with a recessed back, and thin side walls. The front of the clasp is triangular in shape (pointed), with incised decoration. The decoration consists of a thin groove around the edge of the clasp front, with a central line, dividing it into two triangular areas. Each area has several groups of four small V shaped stamps. A roller is present around the strap bar. A second strap bar, made from iron, has been inserted into the centre of the sides. The space behind the clasp frame has been infilled with iron corrosion products, possibly mineralising the original strap.
It measures 31.2 mm in length, 16.0 mm wide and 6.4 mm thick. It weighs 9.0 g.
The probable strap clasp frame is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.
The probable strap clasp frame is similar to that of a two part folding strap clasp, with crowned head or mitred head decoration. However none of those strap clasps have additional strap bars like this example. This example has thinner walls than those of the two part folding strap clasps.

An incomplete copper alloy probable great square headed brooch fragment, of Early Medieval dating (c. AD 450 to c. AD 600).
Less than 25% of the brooch is present, consisting only of part of the bow and a small amount of the head plate. The rest of the brooch is missing, presumed lost in antiquity.
The brooch fragment is sub triangular in plan, and curved in section. All edges are incomplete. The decoration on the front can be separated in two parts: the bow and the square plate. The bow is decorated with a central rectangular ridge, which has been decorated with two parallel grooves (worn in the middle of the bow). Diagonal double grooves are present at the top and bottom of the bow on either side of the central ridge. A raised ridge is present along both edges. The decoration on the head consists of two raised circles at the junction of the bow and the plate, with a triple stranded ridge extending above it. A double stranded ridge is present at the possible top of the plate running at right angles to the vertical ridge. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The remains of two pin lugs with an iron axis bar, for the pin to attach to, are present on the reverse.
It measures 46.4 mm in length, 22.8 mm wide and 13.9 mm thick (at the bow). It weighs 15.5 g.
The brooch is a mid brown colour and an even surface patina.
Several similar great square headed brooch fragments have been recorded on the PAS database, including: WMID-E96A51 and WMID-922C17.

An incomplete copper-alloy right-angled drop handle from a vessel, of Medieval dating (c. AD 1270 - c. AD 1350).
Approximately 75% of the handle is present, consisting of one of the animal head terminals, and a vertical and horizontal shaft. The other animal head terminal and a vertical shaft are missing, presumed lost in antiquity.
The horizontal and vertical shafts are rectangular in cross-section (7.5 x 6.2mm). There is an acorn knop at the one surviving corner where the shafts adjoin. At the centre of the horizontal shaft is a swelling, also rectangular in cross-section. This swelling is defined by a circumferential collar at each side (now worn). The surviving vertical shaft would have been at right-angles to the horizontal shaft. However, it is slightly misshapen. One of the ends of the handle is complete and terminates with a heavy separate soldered heavy collar in the form of a crude animal head defined by grooves on each side. This collar is 18.3 mm in length and is oval in cross-section. The distance between the zoomorphic collar and the vertical shaft is 7.6 mm and this part would have accommodated a freely movable attachment loop with projecting shoulders and a riveted end which is burred over slightly.
It measures 85.5 mm in length, 38.9 mm wide and 10.8 mm thick. It weighs 36.4 g.
The handle is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.
A very similar handle has been found in archaeological excavations at Victoria Street ("Baynard Castle Dock") in London. This example has been tentatively dated c. 1270 - c. 1350 (Egan 1998: 175, ref: 487). Several similar handles have been recorded on the PAS database, including: IOW-61F305; KENT-C7C015; DENO-478758; IOW-6E4393; DENO-204990 and DENO-F05AE6.

Probable Medieval (12th to 15th centuries) trivet or candle holder: The copper alloy stand appears to form a three legged stand, of which only two legs remain. The legs are oval in section which continues upwards to form an arm with a possible zoomorphic terminal. Only one complete arm remains, the other is missing but the break is not too recent. The two legs are joined by an integral sub-triangular platform with a central circular perforation which is incomplete due to breaks. The breaks again are not recent. The surface of the item has a well developed mid green patina. It measures 40.49mm tall from the foot to the zoomorphic head, 54.88mm wide from foot to foot and weighs 36.3g.
While no exact parallel has been found the style appears Medieval and is similar in form to trivets and more elaborate three legged candle holders. Similar items on the PAS database include HAMP-89E851 and SUSS-5E2F87.

An early Medieval (11th century) copper alloy strap end: The strap end has an animal head terminal which is visible in profile with an elongated point oval on either side as the eyes, and an open mouth. The body of the strap end is narrowed behind the head and is a elongated trapezoid in plan. Only a short portion of the body is split in profile to allow for the strap to be fitted. The terminals of each plate have a single rivet hole. The surface is heavily abraded and has a red copper corrosion with traces of a dark green patina. The strap end measures 43.87mm long, 7.87mm wide and 7.17mm thick. It weighs 7.5g.
Thomas (2003) classifies these type of strap ends as Class B Type 6 and comments these types of strap end with the style of animal head is diagnostic of late Viking Ringerike and Urnes style dated to the 11th century.

A copper alloy finger ring, probably of Post-Medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1800. It is a simple, broad hoop of thin rectangular section, without bezel. It is decorated with a stamped pattern of opposing equilateral triangles; each triangle containing a stylised fleur-de-lis. It has been made by bending a strip of metal and soldering the ends to form a ring. The butted join is clearly visible and the decoration is not aligned. The ring has a rough, light green patina and has been partially bent out of shape. It is 17.6mm long and 16.2mm wide and the loop is 5.3mm wide and 0.6mm thick. It weighs 1.17gm.
