An incomplete copper-alloy buckle of post-medieval date. This is the front plate section but the loops and rear plate are missing. The attachment end would originally have been trilobate with a rivet hole in the centre but two of the three lobes have broken off. The plate narrows as it approaches the centre where it expands again to form a round central section, with a central, circular rivet hole. Both rivet holes originally had iron rivets, one of which remains in place. There are two arms, which would have originally been loops, with a rectangular pin recess. The surface is decorat…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy strap end of medieval date. One plate of a composite, three piece strap end. The plate is rectangular, narrowing along its length and dramatically towards the terminal where there is a small rectangular projection.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy object, likely to be a mount, of medieval date. It is of unusual form with a square, domed section and an integral loop, much of which is missing due to old breaks. The square section has a raised, square central portion with iron staining. There is an incised line which divides it from the remnants of the loop. On the reverse is an integral spike of rectangular section. The precise purpose is uncertain but it may be a bar mount with integral loop. If this were the case then it would likely be of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century date. No parallels have been …

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy mount of medieval date. Mount is formed of plate which was originally sub-rectangular in plan with one vertical edge slight convex and the other slightly concave, mirroring one another. It was attached with two circular rivets one of which is still present. Two corners have been broken off. The style is very functional and it is undecorated meaning that it could date to most points between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. It measures 15.87mm in length, 10.24mm in width, 3.87mm in thickness (including the rivet) and weighs 0.55g.

An incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate of medieval date. Only the upper plate survives with the most of the loops and all of the lower plate missing. The plate is rectangular in plan, tapering somewhat towards the attachment end. It was secured with three rivets, two alongside one another and close to the loop with the other central and close to the attachment end. The upper surface is decorated with evidence that it was originally gilded. It is similar in form to Egan and Pritchard (1991), p. 75, no. 305 although produced to a much higher standard.

A copper-alloy strap end spacer of medieval date. It is rectangular in plan with a central collared knop extending from the centre of the bar. One arm of the bar is broken. The protruding knop is of hexagonal section, narrowing towards the terminal. The plate of the spacer is a flat, rectangular plate of rectangular section. It was attached to the other plates of the spacer by way of copper-alloy rivets one of which survives. The form is quite unusual as most spacers are forked but the knop is quite similar to those in Egan and Pritchard (1991), p. 144. It is likely to the fourteenth …

A copper-alloy harness pendant hanger of medieval date. A bar suspension mount of rectangular plan with two integral attachment spikes on the reverse. Descending down from this are two circular loops with central, circular holes which are perpendicular to the attachment plate.

It is also similar to NLM-80B422, KENT-BDC391 and NLM-4BFD65. It is of thirteenth- or fourteenth-century date. It measures 18.45mm in length, 1…

A copper-alloy buckle frame of the medieval period. 'D-shaped' in plan with a narrowed, offset bar with projecting knops at either end. The loop is of circular section with two moulded, expanded rings acting as a pin rest on the outer part of the loop. It has been bent , which has warped the attachment bar somewhat.
