Record ID: NLM-DE3676
Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy medieval buckle plate. A thick cast straight-sided plate with a narrowed projecting slotted rectangular tab which is folded tightly against the back of the larger part. Moulded vertical bars appear at the inner and outer edges of the display side of the plate, and a pair of prongs project from its putative inner end. This configuration would more normally be rendered in flexible sheet metal, but this may be indicative of early construction. Suggested date: Medieval, 1150-1300.
Length: 21.5mm, Height: 20.2mm, Thickness (plate, clear of vertical ribs): 1.9mm, Weight: 5.6…

Copper alloy possible buckle fragment, as kindly identified by Laura Burnett. Laura comments: 'Do you think this could be a Medieval buckle with integral plate and extension on the other side of the (damaged) frame?. See https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/957817 and perhaps https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/754697.
This updates a somewhat strained interpretation of the object by this reporter as a very distressed Romano-British brooch, an analysis now relegated to the 'notes' field below, as a warning to us all! That record had concluded: 'Accompan…

Fragment of a cast copper alloy two loop bucke. A rectangular section stem or shank which extends between two flat elements with, in so far as they remain, curved edges, and both bearing a rayed pattern of grooves converging on the stem. Rusty stains on the central shank hint at the former presence of a ferrous metal component. This identification was kindly offered by Laura Burnett, with confirmation of this offered by Rob Webley, who comments as follows: 'This looks like the pin bar of a post-medieval buckle, the rust from the missing iron pin. Cf. Whitehead (2003, 65; e.g. no. 402)…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy mount. Cast concavo-convex mount comprising a smiling human mask in a hat or hood, with a backward pointing blunt hook rising behind it. Below the mask a miniature torso is represented with a pair of crooked ball-ended arms springing from it, and a circular loop, probably for an attachment rivet, below. The hollow mask is slightly thickened close to the hook, suggesting allowance for its use, perhaps fastening a strap.
The facial features include a high brow, a broad triangular nose perhaps flattened by wear, and lidded eyes with bags beneath them. A tight fitting ha…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy Brooch. Knee Brooch, as kindly suggested by Laura Burnett with reference to IOW-C9CD63and SOM-3B6BAF. The fastening may derive from the Polden Hill series (cf. Mackreth's CD PH 6, the 'Eastern' type).The plate at one end of the wings may have served as a hook, and there is the stub of a rearward pointing hook at the top of the wings. A small integrally cast top loop is of triangular form. A broad sub-rectangular section bow meets the head, and has two or more pairs of side knobs. There is a suspicion of further decorative detail, though worn. The bow tapers towards a simp…

Object type: BOOK FITTING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Gilded copper alloy book clasp of Howsam type A.1.3 and medieval date. Cast circular plate with central drilled aperture of diameter 4mm. The plate is decorated with finely incised radial lines within an incised border, detailing which retains gilding. At one end a straight edge bears vertical incised decoration, also retaining gilding; from its ends spring a pair of opposed lugs bearing worn holes of diameter c.1.5mm which would have held a bar in the same plane as the plate.
Opposite these paired lugs, a longer centrally placed lug of length 13mm bears a drilled hole of diamete…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy with gilding, brooch. Cast brooch resembling members of the Headstud class, albeit lacking the stud; Laura Burnett kindly identifies this as a knee brooch. Semi-tubular wings closed at their ends retain an axis bar and a nine coil spring and a pin. An integrally cast sub-rectangular plate rises above the wings, surmounted by a moulded lug with a drilled aperture of diameter circa 2mm with the stub of a loop above it. The bow tapers from the full width of the head to a pedestal foot with an aperture in its base, with the stub of a catch plate behind. Curvilinear relief dec…

Object type: LAMP HANGER
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Copper alloy.
Lamp hanger, Cast suspension loop with a round aperture of diameter 4mm above a frame formed by three equidistant branches; two branches are broken, probably recently, but the third has a smaller loop with an aperture of diameter 2.5mm bearing angled wear within. There is a further loop at the base of the main or upper loop arm and enclosed by the trifid branches; this appears to have retained a part moving in the same plane as the upper loop and is also circa 2.5mm in diameter. The object appears to be from an unusually complex harness pendant with multiple moving and…
