Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron buckle of Medieval date. The frame is rectangular, with bevelled edges and a flat underside. The single plate is integrally cast, rectangular in plan and has a forward-facing hook at the non-frame end. At the centre of the frame end, there is a circular aperture, by which the now missing pin would have been attached. The inner edge of this aperture is damaged.

Record ID: WMID-381887
Object type: AXE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a wrought iron axehead of possible medieval to post-medieval date. The fragment may be the butt end of the axe as it does not seem wide enough to be the blade. It is possible that the break is at the section where the hole for the hafted handle would have been, and this would have been the weakest part of the axe. It is very corroded and in poor condition.
