County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A silver-gilt fragment, possibly from a late Anglo-Saxon disc brooch. The fragment can be read as part of an animal with only the front leg, shoulder and curve at the junction of the neck and back remaining. A strand of interlace can be seen running behind the possible raised front leg which ends against a simple frame. The animal is rendered freely in a style reminiscent of the chip carving of the early Anglo Saxon period. All edges apart from the one delineating the lower part of the neck and back are torn. The width of the fragment is 15mm.

A late early-medieval copper-alloy strap-distributor, with one surviving copper alloy-strap attachment loop. The distributor is circular with three sub-circular perforations. All edges are rounded. The obverse is slightly convex and the reverse is likewise concave. The obverse is decorated with raised lines between the perforations. The surviving attachment is crudely made from a cast strip of copper alloy that was bent around through one of the holes; at the ends, the strip is joined by a small copper alloy rivet; the reverse of the attachment seems to have a raised line and punched …

Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Hooked tag (probably). Triangular object made from copper-alloy sheet. Two edges are intact, running down to a broken apex; the top edge is broken. The metal thickens slightly towards the apex, and there is a pair of parallel grooves running not-quite-straight across just above the apex, which then begins to turn under away from the grooves. The top edge is broken in a series of sharp jagged angles, and there is no trace of sewing holes. A possible copper-alloy rivet does not appear on the reverse and so is probably just a strongly adhering fragment or thick corrosion bubble; ther…

Object type: TWEEZERS

County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of one arm from a pair of tweezers. The fragment represents part of the tip of the arm, and although one corner is missing it can be seen that the tip was turned inwards, roughly at right angles, to provide a better grip. The fragment flares from a minimum of 14 mm wide at the broken top to 18 mm wide at the tip; it is 17 mm long and weighs 1.11g. The surface is very corroded, but a neat longitudinal row of seven small ring-and-dot motifs is visible down the centre, and a row of dots can just be seen down either edge. This decoration suggests a middle or late Anglo-Saxon d…
