Copper alloy buckle. Cast single looped buckle with widened edge, notched lip and narrowed strap bar with a separate plate of folded sheet metal of thickness 0.8mm attached to it.

The flat rivet heads which remain are circa 2.5mm in diameter but the empty rivet hole is circa 1.7mm in diameter, suggesting that the heads of the rivets have been burred to secure them.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy prick from a spur (probably), dating from the Medieval to early Post-medieval period. The prick is long and sharp with four facets; there is a collar at the blunt end which would have been attached to the heelplate of the spur. Prick spurs pre-date rowel spurs, and this example is probably 14th - 16th century in date. One would not have liked to have been the horse should this interpretation be correct!

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy seal matrix of Medieval date (about 1200-1500). The matrix face is circular and the conical handle has six facets. The terminal of the handle is a suspension loop, but this has been broken; only a stub remains were the loop was. There is a thick collar between the loop and the shaft. The edges of the face are worn and broken which unfortunately makes most of the legend illegible. The following letters in the legend can be made out: "WILL DE(O)[-](CIS)[---](DCA)[-]" so it was probably a personal seal of William (Surname missing). The design is of a stylised…
