Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
A gilded copper alloy mount in the form of a human head. The face is straight sided and the details are simply shown, with incised circles for eyes, and a small ellipse for the mouth. There are two curved grooves either side of the nose, which may be a moustache or the fortuitous survival of the gilding. The head is topped by a rounded helmet or hat, the sides of which have incised lines parallel to the brim, but these are worn away at the front. The headdress appears to have flat, curved additions framing the face and a semi circular crest at the top, both with the grooved lines. The…

Workflow stage: Published
A supporting-arm brooch made from copper alloy. The broad head-plate is decorated with horizontal moulded lines, and appears to have four points along the upper edge. The two inner points each conceal a perforated lug to carry the axis bar, around which the spring was wrapped; these lugs are now almost obscured by rust. The two points at the corners are merely decorative. The head-plate tapers into the short bow, which in turn flares slightly into the foot. This is decorated with more moulded horizontal lines and has a catchplate on the reverse. Length: 33.29 mm, width: 26.1 mm, weigh…

A rectangular cast copper-alloy mount. There is a drilled hole located centrally near one of the shorter edges. The obverse of the mount is decorated within a border of 1.9mm. The area of the field opposite the hole is dominated by a backwards-looking quadruped. This animal is reminiscent of a similar animal on a late Saxon brooch featuring on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database (SF-8D3536). The animal appears to be breathing fire. The field around the hole is characterised by curvilinear motifs: scrolls and loops. Such design would seem to indicate a late-Saxon date; based parti…

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
A gilded cast copper-alloy artefact of probable early-medieval date. The object has three prongs through which three aligned holes have been drilled. The end with the prongs is the object's thickest point, at 7.5mm. The object then tapers to 4.0mm rendering it sub-triangular in section. The obverse field has an incised border containing a stylised zoomorphic motif: perhaps a bird. Beyond the field the object tapers once more: to a thickness of 2.0mm. Something would have projected from this end of the artefact; unfortunately this has been lost in an old break. The obverse has r…

Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
A worn fragment of a cast copper-alloy flat ring terret of late Iron Age to Roman date (1st century AD). The fragment is sub-rectangular both in shape and section; the shallow nature of the curve suggests quite a sizeable hoop. The inner edge of the fragment, at 7.3mm thick, is considerably thicker than the outer edge at 4.1mm. Terret ringss were used as rein guides, although there is no obvious associated wear on this fragmentary example. However, it could be that a large example, of which this fragment may have formed part, would not have been used for such a purpose. As with flat …

A copper alloy knife handle terminal, consisting of four lobes divided by an incised cross. The top lobe has been neatly perforated but the top of the hole is damaged.

Cast copper-alloy double-oval buckle. The frame has a small lateral ridge at the point where the bar joins it. The pin is copper alloy rather than iron, as is sometimes the case. There does not appear to be any sign of surface treatment (tinning for instance). Similar buckles were found in London excavations and are dated to late 12th to 13th centuries (Egan & Pritchard 1991)

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy, two-piece strap-end. The strap end consists of a cast front plate, with the decorative terminal riveted to a sheet back plate. While the main part of the strap end is undecorated the terminal has diagonal grooves cut in it in an abstract design. This type of strap-end often has a terminal in the form of a kings head but this example looked more like a grotesque face. Two rivets could just be seen on the front of the strap end. Strap ends of this type found in London excavations (Egan & Pritchard 1991)have been dated to mid 14th to 15th centuries.
