A cast copper alloy dagger guard / quillion or hilt plate of later medieval date (1200-1500). The plate is incomplete having broken across the mid-point. It is broadly triangular in shape (but originally would have been elliptical). The breaks are old and patinated although relatively crisp suggesting little movement in the ploughsoil. The extant terminal terminates in a bulbous edge rather than knop. It is highly likely that this edge did not act as a hand guard due to its slight nature. The upper surface has a rectangular slot cast through it mid-point through which the tang of the …

A cast copper alloy strap fitting (mount) or belt plate fragment of probable medieval date (AD 1100-1350). The artefact is sub-rectangular in plan and domed in profile. The upper surface has a cast design which has been gilded and also design detailing has been pierced. The upper surface is both eroded and corroded and much of the detail is lost; the cast design is intricate and most probably a quadruped (whose feet are depicted as paws) facing left with a spiral shaped tail and forward facing head. In many ways it is similar to that of a lion standing. The voids between the animal ha…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead-alloy penny sized boy bishop token dating to the late Medieval or early Post-Medieval period, c. 1500-1539. This token type can be considered a variant type of Rigold's series III, tokens inspired by profile issue groats and halfgroats of Henry VII. However, his publication (1978) only lists this type in groat sized pieces. The token has been pierced at c 7 o'clock on its obverse face, presumably for suspension. Obverse: mitre within inner pelleted border, ORA PRO NOBIS. Reverse: long cross fourchee quartering shield, SANCT NICHO (the legend beginning at 6 o'clock)
