An incomplete Early Medieval copper alloy and enamel buckle, dating to c AD 650 - 750. It consists of the loop of what was probably a three-part buckle. Tongue and plate (which would have been integral to one another) and what was probably a sub-triangular body, are missing. The loop is sub-pelta shape with the outer edge possibly taking the form of two opposed stylised zoomorphic heads, raised up, their snake-like tails continuing around the loop and almost meeting at the attachment end.

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper alloy mount of Early-Medieval date. The mount is triquetra in form with a flat, rectangular profile. The upper surface is decorated with an intricate carved interlace design which retains gilding. The exact nature of the decoration is difficult to determine due to wear though an intertwining rope work-style border appears to be present around each loop and into the centre panel. The reverse is flat and undecorated.
The metal has a mid-greenish patina and is worn. The object is 21.8mm long, 20mm wide, 1.8mm thick and weighs 2.5g.

Object type: PIN
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy possible pin of Early Medieval date. The object is anthropomorphic, being moulded in the form of a human male head, and inverted piriform in plan. The pointed end at the chin of the face is a patinated break. The object has a flat back and a moulded, three-dimensional front. It appears to be solid.
The moulded head is smaller than the integral flat back of the object, so there is a flat narrow projecting rim round the edge of the object. The edge of this is chipped in places. Kevin Leahy interprets this (from images) as un untrimmed casting flash, and suggests that…

Copper alloy mount fragment. Small thin fragment, possibly from a mount of cross-shaped form with concave sides to its arms, retaining interlace strap-work with relict gilding on one side, with plain borders, one lightly convex and the other concave. Lightly bent, broken along one edge. Kevin Leahy kindly comments as follows: 'I think that this piece represents a fragment decorated in what the Staffordshire Hoard report called the 'Early Insular Style' which was dated to c. 630-660. The matting-link interlace formed from three strands is characteristic of what was, in the Staffs. Hoar…
