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 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 …

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…

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…

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 fragment from a cast copper-alloy post-medieval buckle, probably a shoe buckle: it bowes. The frame would have been rectangular with rounded corners; less than half of the buckle remains. The pin, now missing, would have been joined to the frame at two centrally drilled holes along its width; half of one of the holes is present on the fragment. The frame is raised around the spindle hole. The buckle is moulded on its upper surface, with a slightly rebated border. In each internal corner is an arc that terminates in a circle within which a punched ring-and-dot motif. The circles prot…

A cast copper-alloy asymmetrical double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. One loop of the buckle is rounded, with two projecting lobed knops, top and bottom, and the other half is rectangular, with five equally-spaced transverse notches on the outer edge which form six lobed knops. At each end of the pin bar there is a further lobed knop. The pin is now missing; iron staining around the pin bar and outer edge reveals the pin's composition. The buckle has a flat reverse, while the upper face is bevelled both internally and externally to the loops. The tinning on the buckle ha…

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 missing. The buckle frame has corroded to a variable mid/dark-green colour. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf.

A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, complete with pin. The loops are oval and are bevelled both externally and internally on the upper surface; the former is far shallower. The lower surface is flat giving the frame a sub-triangular cross-section. At both ends of the pin bar is a pointed knopped protrusion. Loosely looped at the centre of the bar is a copper-alloy cast pin of semicircular cross-section. In profile one of the loops has been bent upwards on one side at an angle of c. 10 degrees. The buckle has a shiny, dark-green patina where it survives ove…

A cast copper-alloy rectangular single-looped buckle of medieval to post-medieval date (c. AD 1400-1700). The buckle's rectangular frame has rounded corners on the outer edge. It is square in cross-section with some rounding to the outer edge. Looped in situ is a thick wire pin which has corroded in the same manner as the frame. The buckle's form is not diagnostic hence the large date range offered.

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 complete post-medieval copper-alloy button of 17th-century date. This is a cast composite two-piece example of discoidal form with a convex front and flat back. It has a polished tin coating with some small patches of light-green corrosion product showing through. On the back is a separate embedded drawn copper-alloy wire shank of circular section in a simple loop, now squashed against the back. For similar examples see Read (2005, 75); Read notes that the surface treatment may have been with the intention of creating an appearance of silver.

A slightly damaged late medieval/early post-medieval copper-alloy button. This is a cast one-piece example of biconvex form with an integral looped shank. The button is plain. It has corroded to a red/brown colour with patches of light-green corrosion product. The shank has been abraded through and slightly bent as a result of old damage. Similar examples can be found illustrated in Read (2005, 51-52).

A copper-alloy composite three-piece button of post-medieval date (c. 17th century). The sheet button consists of a pair of hollow die stamped hemispheres soldered together. There is a small perforation, or blow hole, either side of the separately attached round, drawn wire loop/shank. A detached element is lodged within the object and rattles around when shook, but it is assumed that this is not a pea as with a bell. The head is plain, but corroded with a red-brown colour with traces of off-white and green corrosion product, and some tinning or possible solder around the shank. The h…

A post-medieval cast tombac (copper-zinc alloy) two-piece circular button with central pimple (c. 17th century AD). The front is plain and slightly domed apart from the pimple. The back is concave and rough with a back-plate soldered in place within a border. This latter features three perforations arranged in a triangle around a central integral loop. The loop is rectangular with a rounded end and perforated for attachment; the hole is slightly recessed. This too is rougher than the front, a duller grey than the shinier front.
