The pin is composed of iron. The buckle frame is decorated along the top and bottom edges with radiating incised lines which create a braided appearance and both outer edges are decorated at the centre with a raised moulded roundel.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper-alloy and gilded Post Medieval trapezoidal double-loop buckle with moulded decoration, probably dating to the late 17th century AD.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy thimble with spiralled indentation pattern and very thin rim, probably Medieval to Post Medieval in date, c. 14th-16th centuries AD.

There is no central 'tonsure' at the top of the thimble, but the spiralling design runs from the centre in a counter-clockwise rotation. The indentations seem to be hand stamped and the 'rim' at the base of the thimble is a simply inscribed ring just above the circular edge of the thimble. A …
