Copper alloy unidentified object, as kindly suggested by Rob Webley. Rob comments as follows: 'I don't think this is a coin weight. Though I can't find a parallel for the form very readily, the design is common on equestrian equipment, harness pendants, but also mounts such as YORYM-CF6A63 and NMS-72F762'.

An incomplete copper alloy decorative mount or fitting of early Medieval date, c. 12th century AD (AD 1100-1200). The object is formed from a sem-circular plate of copper alloy, gilded on the upper surface. The plate has alternating rounded panels of openwork and solid panels decorated with human face-masks. Between the panels are several smaller holes presumably for rivets, two of which survive. These rivets stand proud of the front surface and have been gilded, suggesting that they are decorative rather than functional. Each rivet is cone shaped and terminates with a rounded knop.…

A fragment of a adulterated silver possibly late Medieval to post-Medieval casket moutn dating c.15th - 16th century. Description: One of the flat sides is plain, the other features engraved decoration. This consists of a central panel displaying what appears to be an heraldic dolphin curled in a semi-circle, gripping a vine-like object in its mouth. The dolphin appears to be encircled around the middle by a crown, and it is probable that another dolphin is back-to-back ('addorsed') with this one, though it is difficult to be sure since the plate is cut off at this point. Above the…

A fragmentary copper-alloy object of medieval date, probably a mount or binding strip (c. 12th-13th century). It consists of a length of strip of D-shaped cross-section interrupted by an open ring. The front of the strip is decorated with moulded transverse grooves which creates ridged decoration; the ring is plain. The ring is located off centre on the strip suggesting that it is a broken fragment, though the breaks are old as each end is smooth. The object has a dark-green patina over red-brown metal.
