Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of copper-alloy casting waste of uncertain date. The casting waste is amorphous in form, but narrows to a wide rounded terminal at one end. A horizontal ridge is at its widest point, as well as a series of striations arranged both horizontally and longitudinally. Further, longer longitudinal striations are present at the narrowed end. The reverse exhibits a long rough moulding along its length, which birfurcates at the wider end. There is a green patina on the surface, as well as blackened areas. The casting waste measures 48.95mm in length, 30.91mm in width, 8.59mm in…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragmentary or incomplete copper alloy object of uncertain date, perhaps a vessel handle, consisting of a sub-circular terminal (22.8mm wide) with a central perforation 2.2mm in diameter, and extending to one side a rectangular-sectioned projection 14.5mm wide and 3.7mm thick. This projection terminates in an old break after c.10mm. The object thins from max.3.7mm thick at the break to 1.2mm at the opposite end of the sub-circular terminal. It measures 31.3mm in incomplete length, is max. 22.8mm wide and weighs 9.20g. The original patina is lost and the metal is now patchy and a br…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, possibly cut, cast copper alloy object of uncertain use and date, but potentially either later Early-medieval or a post-medieval revival piece. The object is flat but is curved like a horn with a squared terminal 16.7mm wide, while the thinner end is 7.4mm wide. This end is broken. There is a sprue of metal bent up and curved from one edge, which does not appear to have any decorative features and seems to be another element of the object. Both faces of the 'horn' are intricately decorated with scolled leaves and vines with a beast at the wider terminal; each beast is …

Workflow stage: Published
A copper alloy-stud of uncertain date, cast, with a slightly convex circular head which is 21.48mm in diameter and 3.04mm thick. The plate has suffered some abrasions to its circumference. Located centrally on the reverse of the head is an integral shank of circular cross-section, which tapers slightly to a flat end; it has a maximum diameter of 7.35mm and is 17.83mm long. There is little diagnostic information with which to date this stud. Overall, the stud is 17.83mm long, and weighs 9.6g

Object type: PUNCH
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A complete cast copper alloy probable punch or die of probable medieval to post-medieval date.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and undatable copper alloy unidentified object, consisting of a rectangular plate (14.27x17.22mm) from one edge of which extends an arched arm, expanding into something flatter at its other end, although only a tiny fragment of this survives. At this point to the reverse however is a curving hook, in the same plane as the arm, but curving first backwards then forwards again. The tip is worn and it is uncertain if it is a break or not. Behind the plate, just before the arm extends, is a rectangular projection extending at right angles and broken at its end, possibly acros…

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An apparently complete copper alloy unidentified object, probably Early-Medieval to Medieval in date (c.400-1500) and with no obvious breaks. Measures 30.08x14.03x2.91mm and weighs 3.93g. The object is flat and curving in profile, with one crimped end, tapering and thickening to become D-shaped in cross-section (5.23x2.91mm) though apparently not crimped to hold anything - there is a very slight opening only. The object is otherwise rectangular in cross-section with the opposite end measuring 14.03x1.42mm. The sides narrow to c.13mm, whereby they thicken (2.76mm) and taper sharply i…

A copper-alloy finger ring with gilded and incised decoration. The ring is of 'D-shaped' section, the width and thickness gradually increasing from the back of the hoop to the bezel. At the centre of the bezel is an oval setting containing an unidentified black substance with areas of white 'crust'. Both shoulders are decorated with an incised triquetra motif: three interlinked pointed ovals. On one side of the ring, the central pointed oval is particularly well executed, extending to beyond halfway along the hoop, its inner space incised to resemble a feather. The remaining portion…

A cast copper alloy ingot of unknown date. The ingot is sub-rectangular in plan and cross section; it tapers from a relatively thick narrow end to a thinner thicker one. The upper surface has a series of incised slightly diagonal lines applied to it. These lines are heavily patinated and form almost a deliberately delineated measure; however, the lines have been applied at random and are irregular in nature. The sides of the ingot are regular and it is possible that they have been hammered to that shape. The metal surface has a deep thick brown coloured patina which is much abraded and…

Four cast copper alloy ingots of unknown date. The ingots are all similar in form being broadly sub-rectangular in plan and faceted; each ingot has a different number of sides but all seem to be deliberately hammered or cast. The long sides of each ingot taper and expand forming a number of pre-defined smaller ingots; in shape they are similar to a string of beads or string of sausages. The space between each ingot seems to have a square shaped cross section, suggesting that each miniature ingot was of a predesigned functional size. Each ingot is a mid brown green colour with an even, …

A cast copper alloy unidentified object of unknown date. The slightly curved sub-rectangular arm is oval in section. One end tapers to a blunt point and the other end is flat and bears an oval panel motif standing in relief.
