Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete cast copper alloy brooch of Medieval date (1200-1300). In plan, the brooch has a triangular open frame. It is convex at the front and flat at the rear. Two arms form the sides and the third arm is the bar. All three arms are ‘D’-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. Each arm is roughly the same length and at each corner there is a small boss, possibly zoomorphic. However, due to corrosion and possibly wear, this is uncertain.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy unidentified object. The object measures 28.1mm by 11.7mm by 5.6mm and weighs 4.4g. It consists of two oval loops which are separated by a rounded collar (diameter 5.2mm). The outside edge of one of the loops is slightly narrower, presumably due to wear. It superficially resembles an early-medieval bit-link but according to David Williams it is much too small for this purpose. Kevin Leahy has suggested that it could be a single link from a cast copper alloy chain, possibly of medieval date.
