A fragment of a leg of a copper alloy vessel of medieval or early post-medieval date. The leg fragment is shaped like an animal's foot with a rounded front akin to a paw. There is a knee-type projection halfway up the leg, while the reverse of the leg is flat and the front broadly rounded. It is likely that this object is the leg from an ewer or small cauldren. These vessels were commonly used from the 14th century through to the 16th century, however copper vessels were in use from the 12th century AD (Lewis 1987).

Below this thickened band the foot is D-shape in cross-section. The opposite face of the object contains adhering traces of an unidentified black substance, which is probably a sooty/carbon deposit which occurred due to cooking. Cast …

An incomplete unidentified copper alloy object, possibly a hooked tag of medieval or post-medieval date. The tag is very thin, has a sub-oval body with a long narrowing spike projecting from one end. The spike terminates in a sharp point but may have originally terminated in a hook. At the opposite end of the main body is the broken stub of another projection, possibly another spike but more likely a small loop of such to mount and secure the tag. No direct comparison could be found in the usual literature. Another possibility is that it is a fragment from a rifle, however this is als…

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead alloy token or tally of post-medieval date. The token appears bifacial however the condition of survival makes it difficult to read one side; there may be initials, possibly an F or an E, however it is unclear. The other side has an indistinct pattern possibly a cobweb-type design or maybe a merchant's mark of crosses, lines and other geometric shapes. These tokens are thought to date from the post-medieval period, c. 1600-1750.

A thick coopper alloy strap fitting or strap decoration of post-medieval to modern date. The fitting has a sub-triangular base with curved edges which extends in to two splayed leaves, which in turn are either side of a another narrowing and collared triangular element. On the reverse are the remains of two integrally cast attachment spikes which would have secured the fitting to the strap. The style of this fitting, and the thickness of it (which is unusually thick at c.5mm) suggests a late date, porbably at least the 18th or early 19th century if not later. It may have been a decora…
