Object type: PLATE BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic plate brooch dating to the Roman period, c. 150-300 AD. The pin is missing, but otherwise the brooch is preserved intact except for some post-depositional distortion. The brooch takes the form of a long-eared dog with a projecting snout, its tail curled upwards and hindquarters crouched as if in an attitude of springing or leaping. In the middle of the body is a recessed sub-rectangular cell containing a degraded whitish substance that probably is the remains of enamel, a smaller circular cell directly in front of it (missing its inlay comple…

Object type: RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead ring. Cast ring of lentoid section. The metal retains its grey tint, which may point to a relatively recent date. The band is now broken, probably as damage at the time of its discovery. The surface bears scattered light blistering marks. The mass could suggest this to have been a [slightly underweight] two ounce weight, perhaps formed thus for convenient storage in a workshop. A range of objects interpreted as fishing weights from London include annular forms, though these have a subsidiary tying loop and are of a different more angular section (Steane and Foreman 1988, 'Medieva…

Copper alloy finger ring. A cast D section band with a butted join at its narrowest part, which lies opposite the bezel.

Lead offcut. A curving grooved strip of cast lead, knife-cut [in antiquity] along one long edge and thinned along the opposite edge. The finder reports that the groove between these edges 'was full of horse hair which got lost with the mud as the lead item was removed'. Patinated. The survival of organic material probably points to a relatively recent date for the final deposition of the object, though whether the horsehair had been integral to its original function is uncertain. It might represent degraded fibre, perhaps from a cord passing under the rim of a vessel. The light curvat…

Post-medieval copper alloy handle cast in two pieces and containing fragments of wood. The demi-figure, comprising the upper part of a lion with raised forepaws, surmounts a tapering length decorated on both broad convex faces with foliar ornament inlaid with white and dark blue enamel (much of which has been lost), the original end of the socket is broken. Extant length 62mm. Width 23mm. Thickness 15mm. There is no visible solder in the join between the two cast pieces and Read (2001, 82, no. 637) suggests brazing was used to secure a broadly comparable object. See SUR-742887 for …

An incomplete copper alloy double-looped buckle dating to the Post Medieval period (c. AD 1660-1720). The buckle is sub-rectangular in plan and D-shaped in cross section. The outer ends of the frame are slightly bulbous ends to act as the pin rest. The central bar is flush with the frame. The pin is no longer present. The buckle is undecroated and has a mid to light green patina. A similar example can be seen in Whitehead (1996: 102, no. 660). The overall dimensions are as follows: 14.55mm in length, 21.96mm in width, 2.07mm in thickness and 1.25g in weight.

Copper alloy bracelet fragment. Cast and curving round section rod, broken at both its ends, from an object with an estimated internal diameter of c.70mm. A pair of probably moulded ribs appear at one end, on the outer side of the putative bangle only; it is uncertain whether they were only partially defined or whether they have been lost to wear. A broad date is suggested to embrace the possibility of a bracelet following the late Iron Age tradition, while taking account of the more common later Roman use of strip bracelets. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Length: 40.6mm, Diameter: …
