Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily corroded copper alloy item, probably a buckle, possibly with remains of the pin. The original form of the item is difficult to see under the corrosion but it appears to be a simple single loop buckle with a oval frame.

There are corroded remains across the centre of the loop that may have been part of the pin. This simple form of buckle continued in use from the seventh to sixteenth centurys but the shape and thinness of the frame may suggest a date towa…

The object appears to be incomplete and consists of two pieces of metal wire placed one on top of the other and slightly fused together. One end of the two wires is broken. The other is enlarged into a triangular shape and flattened. The back of this trangular area is rough suggesting it may have been attached to a larger item. The front of the area is also rough but is a way that suggests it was melted or had semi-melted pieces attached. The object is possibly part of a handle which was attached a vessel at the flattened and enlarged end. It was either damaged by heat or not finished…
