Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy medieval buckle frame. The frame is oval with a forked spacer, although the forks of the spacer are broken at 7 mm from the frame. The corroded remains of an iron pin are evident in the space between the two spacer forks. The buckle is slightly rounded on the obverse and flat on the reverse. The buckle is similar to examples illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 79; fig 323) which is dated to between 1350 and 1400. This example is likely to be of a similar date.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Published
A late Iron Age to early Roman copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch. The brooch consists of a long bow (58 mm in length) which would have originally bowed in a continuous curve, although it is now damaged and bent out of shape. The wings of the brooch are 14 mm wide. The head of the brooch would have originally had an integral sping and over-head chord hook. However the chord hook is broken and the spring, which would have been located under the rear of the chord hook, is missing. Very little of the brooch's catch plate remains. The brooch is similar to an example illustrated in Ha…

A copper-alloy strap fitting. The fitting consists of a single loop, which is D-shaped. On the flat side of the loop is a projection, 3 mm long, circular in section, and 1.5 mm in diameter. This presumably attached the loop to an object, possibly a small casket or other light item of furniture. The object is likely to be medieval to post-medieval in date.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy buckle plate. The plate is tiny, at 10.5 mm in length and 9.8 mm in width. The plate is rectangular and has two adjacent rivet holes, both 2 mm in diameter. It would have once been attached to a buckle frame by two strips which would have been bent over to hold the frame in place. These strips are, however, broken. The buckle frame and pin are therefore missing. The reverse of the plate is plain, but the obverse retains traces of gilding. The buckle plate is likely to be Medieval in date.

Object type: JEWS HARP
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy Jews' Harp. The instrument consists of a rounded head and arms which measure 36 mm in length and are angled inwards. The head and arms are diamond shaped in section. One one side, in the centre, the head has a rabbet into which an iron tongue (now missing) was once hammered. This iron tongue would have been twanged to create a sound whilst the rounded head was held lightly between the player's teeth. The total length of the instrument is 57 mm. Similar examples are illustrated in Bailey (1995, pages 76 to 77; figs 4-5). Jews' harps are known to be indigenous to South-Eas…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
NB - this items lacks the area with the definitive rebate for a tongue in jews' harps and the profile differs from those of complete examples. It may well therefore be a completely different category of object. A copper-alloy Jews' Harp. The instrument is broken, missing half of its rounded head and one of its arms. The remaining arm is quite short at 19 mm in length. The shape of what remains of the head is also quite unusual, projecting out to the side further than on most examples. As on most examples discovered in the ground the iron tongue, which would be twanged to create a soun…

Object type: HARNESS PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy horse harness pendant in the shape of a triangular shield. The 'shield' has rounded shoulders, and Irene Syzmanski has suggested that these point to a date in the first half of the 13th century. The pendant has a suspension loop at the top which is set at an angle to the plane of the pendant. The reverse of the pendant is plain but the obverse is decorated with a series of four depressed chevrons pointing upwards. Traces of enamel remain in the chevron grooves, and underneath the enamel there are some traces of red, probably the coloration from a base used in the enamell…
