A fragment of a copper-alloy florid cruciform brooch of Early-Medieval date, c. AD 510-580. The brooch consists of an incomplete knop, probably from the top of the head.

Medieval gilt copper alloy brooch consisting of an annular frame in abraded condition and a cast pin with a collar.

A complete copper-alloy medieval annular shoe buckle. It consists of a small circular frame with a simple copper-alloy wire pin wrapped around it to one side. Similar buckles have been found during excavations in London, most from mid-14th to mid-15th century contexts (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 5758), although their chronology extends beyond this into the post-medieval period. Egan and Pritchard (ibid., 57) suggest that buckles of this period with a diameter or 20mm or less are probably from shoes, although some may have fulfilled other dress-related functions and there may have been s…

Incomplete cast lead object, possibly a badge or a brooch of medieval date c. 1300-1400. The brooch is  circular in plan and decorated on the front with a voided cross , the arms projecting from a small circular boss in the centre. Each angle of the cross conains a ring-in-dot. The reverse of the object has what appears to be a hinge mechanism, with two intergrally cast perforated lugs set on top of a groove which extends laterally across the brooch. The lugs each have an expanded section  on their ends above the groove, with a gap between the lugs. This was presumably to hol…
