Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a medieval silver-gilt ring-brooch. The ring is of hollow, D-shaped section. Two tall, conical collets survive, one with a small purple stone remaining. The spaces between the collets are decorated with punching. The ring probably dates to the late 13th century.

The small gemstone was identified by Raman spectroscopy as a garnet.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy brooch with a sub-triangular head, a small bow and a rectangular foot. The head is decorated with a simple design of incised lines and the single remaining circular projecting lug, 10mm in diameter, has a roughly executed circle on it. The linear design follows on over the bow and on to the foot. This part of the brooch also has the same circular lugs, but this time three of the four survive. The foot of the Dinton brooch (see below), which is more complete, suggests that this example may have ended in a rounded point rather than a straight line. Traces of gilding were …

A gilded copper-alloy disc brooch with a central garnet inlay.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper alloy hooked, or looped fitting of 'socketed hook' type. The loop is made up of two bars, the front one of which bears incised decoration. Above the loop, the bars are joined by a 'D' shaped ring which forms an open socket measuring 8 by 12.5mm. There is a flat plate on at the junction of the front bar and the socket. This bears a worn, incised cross motif defined by a double outline. The incised lines appear to contain traces of a whitish substance which may be remains of white metal inlay. Two similar fittings from Linconshire (LIN-F29FC4) were found attached to a disc-shap…

Workflow stage: Published
A gilded copper alloy mount in the form of a human head. The face is straight sided and the details are simply shown, with incised circles for eyes, and a small ellipse for the mouth. There are two curved grooves either side of the nose, which may be a moustache or the fortuitous survival of the gilding. The head is topped by a rounded helmet or hat, the sides of which have incised lines parallel to the brim, but these are worn away at the front. The headdress appears to have flat, curved additions framing the face and a semi circular crest at the top, both with the grooved lines. The…

A copper alloy, looped palstave, with a 75mm long blade that flares out to a worn, curved cutting edge, 39mm across. The socket is 84mm long and 20mm wide.

The narrow blade suggests a mid-late Bronze Age date.
