Incomplete medieval gilt copper alloy spur buckle, the inside edge missing. The frame is oval and the pin is a tapering strip. The plate is of trapezoidal cross-section, i.e. wider at the rear and with sharply chamfered sides. Near the junction with the frame two sharp and oblique projections on both sides flank a rivet hole. The plate tapers to a break which truncates a second rivet hole. Just before the break there is an opposed of similar projections. Gilding survives most fully on the pin. Extant length 34mm. Width of frame 15mm. 13th - 14th century.

Middle Saxon copper alloy double-hooked dress fastener, both hooks distorted outwards. The hooks are conjoined by an integral rectangular-sectioned bar that is pierced at the centre through the narrower width by a transverse hole drilled from both faces. The bar is decorated with four punched ring-and-dots, on both sides of the hole and on both faces. Sometimes identified as shroud hooks, such objects might also have been used as harbicks (havettes or shear-board hooks, implements to fix cloth during the sharing of the nap).
