Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead weight, of rectangular plan and section with bevelled corners, measuring 48.4 x 30.1 x 6.1mm, and weighing 86.8 grams.
The weight appears to have been cast as there is a short sprue at one side, and there are scrape marks to the underside where presumably some lead was removed to make it conform to a required standard. There is an unclear mark (possibly an impressed cross) to the upper surface. The weight is nearly exactly 3 ounces under the 'Tower' system, which would imply that it was in use prior to 1526; but it may be underweight for the Troy system or a little overweight …

Object type: BUCKLE

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy single looped buckle of early-medieval date, dating c. 450-600 AD. Marzinik type 1.5 (Marzinik 2003, p. 306). The buckle frame and pin survive extant, though there is no trace of the plate which would have attached to the offset strap bar. In plan view the buckle frame is broadly 'D' shaped with a sub-oval section to the arms, and demonstrates bevelling on its inner surface. Decoration is present on the upper surface of the buckle frame opposite the strap bar in the form of multiple incised lines while the lower surface of the buckle is plain and undeco…

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy Early-Medieval harness link of Anglo-Scandinavian attribution, dating to c. AD 1000-1150. The fitting comprises a lozenge shaped terminal with,a central circular void, knops on each corner save one which has the rectangular arm projecting from one angle. This arm is hemispherical in cross-section and finishes at a large zoomorphic head that would have been the central motif of the piece, on the other side of the head there is a breka which would have been for an identical arm and lozenge ring. The zoomorphic head has a pointed chin and two triangular ea…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
A silver twisted wire finger-ring, likely of Early-Medieval date.
Description: 2-strand silver finger-ring made of twisted rods, tapering at the ends to plain terminals
Dimensions: diameter 23 x 19mm, weight 2.75g
Discussion: Both annular and penannular rings made of twisted rods are known from the Viking Age (Graham-Campbell 2011, pl. 82). The general appearance and proportions are consistent with Viking rings although the construction is simpler than most (cf the ring from West Bergholt, Essex (Graham-Campbell 2011, pl. 82: 32)) which has a similar 2-strand construction, bu…

A complete single looped cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date, dating c. 1250-1500. The buckle is broadly 'D' shaped in plan view and plano-convex in section with an especially thin pin-bar, and posesses an integral sheet-metal roller at the point where the open-looped sheet metal pin meets the outer point of the buckle bar. The arms of the buckle flare out and thicken as they move symmetrically outwards from the pin-bar, which terminate in a pair of 'wing like' teardrop shaped lobes sitting either side of the copper-alloy roller and perpendicular to the pin's terminal end. These…
