The broken bowl from a cast copper-alloy 17th-century post-medieval spoon. The handle and the majority of the bowl are missing, both from old breaks. The handle is rectangular in cross-section; on the lower surface it tapers to a point at its junction with the bowl. The surviving section of the bowl is shallow and has been bent upwards at the extant terminal, with breaks to each side. There is evidence on the bowl for a circular makers mark, central on the upper surface, which is now unclear but possibly a (Tudor) rose (as with SOM-7C2A26 on this database). The lower surface is plain.…

A corroded, plain copper-alloy rivet-like object which might have been used to hold repairs to a vessel in place. It is sub-oval in plan with a possibly break giving a broadly straight edge to one side. On the lower surface there is an integral protruding prong towards this edge whose terminal protrudes to one side and is flattened at the base. Rolled sheet rivets replaced the earlier folded sheet rivets in pot repairs from the late 15th - 16th centuries (Egan 2005, 101) suggesting a possible late medieval to post-medieval date for this piece. It is of a red-brown metal with patches o…

A corroded fragment from a cast copper-alloy hooked mount of post-medieval date. The fragment consists of the lower part of the mount, including the hook and the lower part below a rivet hole. Within this lower rivet hole corroded remains of an iron rivet. The sides of the mount are scalloped with rounded protrusions to the sides. The inward-turning hook has been bent slightly to one side as a result of old damage. The metal has corroded to a red-brown colour with larges areas of light-green and off-white corrosion product.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval plain double-looped buckle frame. The frame is missing one of its loops after an old break at the pin bar. The surviving loop is trapezoidal, with a flat lower surface and an upper surface which is bevelled externally. This gives the frame a triangular cross-section, while the pin bar is semi-circular in section. There is a knopped protrusion at each end of the pin bar. Traces of orange corrosion product at one end of the pin bar suggest that the pin may have been made of iron. The frame has a dark-grey surface where it survive…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame was formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface, the latter more shallowly; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal cross-section. The pin is now largely missing, apart from the orange/brown corroded mass, the remnant of the iron pin. The buckle frame has a variable mid-green colour but is mostly covered in off-white corrosion product. Buckles of this size…

A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked mount of post-medieval date. The mount is sub-trapezoidal in plan with a cusped upper edge. It tapers towards the hook (now missing), widening slightly just above the hook; the mount has broken as the hook begins. The mount is broadly flat with slight bevelling on its upper surface. It features two iron rivets, one towards the upper edge, the other just below the centre of the plate. Much of the upper rivet survives corroded in place. The copper alloy is covered in an off-white corrosion product over a mid-green metal. Comparable hook…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval shoe or knee buckle. The buckle is rectangular in plan with rounded corners. It is bevelled externally on the upper surface and rabetted at the outer edge. The bevelling is echoed internally on the lower surface. There is a elongated 'C'-shaped moulding on the upper surface along the longer sides and extending into the internal side of the outer edge, terminating in a curl. Central expansions on the longer sides have been drilled to take the separate pin bar. This latter survives in situ; being made of iron it is highly corroded. There a…

A cast copper-alloy spherical animal ('crotal') bell of post-medieval date (c. 17th century AD). The sub-rectangular suspension loop at the top is 6.9mm in length. The curve of the bell continues under the loop suggesting it was made using the detachable sprue-piece method developed in the 17th century. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential rib. At either side of the suspension loop, about halfway down the side of the upper hemisphere, is a circular sound hole. Across the lower hemisphere is a rectangular sound slot opening into a circul…

A complete cast copper-alloy cast spherical bell of post-medieval date (c.1500-1650 AD). The bell is spherical and comprises two hemispherical domes with a raised circumferential join. The top hemisphere has two circular sound holes and a square suspension loop with drilled circular hole projecting from the top. The hole was drilled later into the solid cast loop suggesting it was made before the introduction of the detachable 'sprue-piece' method in the mid-17th century. The lower side of this drilled hole has broken or worn through the top of the bell leaving a slot. The lower hemis…

A cast copper-alloy button inlaid with enamel of late medieval or early post-medieval date (15th-16th century AD). The button has a square head 17.1mm by 16.7mm and 2.5mm thick; it is flat on the front with a recessed cell within a plain border, in the centre of which is a raised circle containing a second cell. The outer cell contains fragments of very glassy red enamel at the cardinal points, and the central cell contains green enamel. From the centre of the flat back projects a rectangular sectioned lug with semi-circular end and a circular hole drilled through it; the back has tra…

A damaged spherical cast copper-alloy post-medieval animal 'crotal' (bell). This complete example has a sub-square suspension loop between two circular sound holes located on the upper hemisphere. The sound holes are recessed on the outer surface and measure c. 5/6mm in diameter. The upper hemisphere is plain. The suspension loop has a angled top and the curve of the bell continues through the opening suggesting it was made using the detachable sprue-piece casting method developed in the 17th century. The loop measures up to 10mm in height by 11.9mm in width by 5.15mm thick. There …

A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval spoon consisting of most of the bowl and part of the handle (c. 17th century AD). Little of the handle now survives; the old break reveals a square cross-section. There is a concave depression on the lower surface at the junction of handle and bowl. The bowl was fig shaped but has suffered losses to one side and along the tip. It has a flattened rim all around. It has received numerous strikes that have resulted in the base being pushed upwards near the centre, as well as the losses mentioned and abrasions at the tip. The spoon …

A copper-alloy sheet binding, sub-circular in plan, of probable post-medieval date. The piece has suffered a longitudinal crack but it has only been slightly distorted in plan. The thin strip is flat at one end and cusped on the other other giving it the superficial appearance of a crown. The cusping is formed of triangles each with small semicircular cusps. An upper zone from just below the cusps is delineated by a double longitudinally incised line; the area below is plain, as is the internal surface. The upper zone is decorated with punched curvilinear decoration. Above the longitu…

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, now missing its pin. The buckle is sub-rectangular in form, effectively a rectangle with the corners cut off; one of the outer edges is not straight. The buckle is flat and plain and has corroded to a red-brown colour overlain by patches of light green corrosion product. Such a buckle can plausibly be dated to the 17th century, although a slightly later date cannot be ruled out (cf. Griffiths et al., 215; ref. 3001).
