An incomplete cast copper-alloy four-way strap junction of post-medieval date. The piece is formed of four circular loops arranged around a central sqaure; one of the loops has broken through. The loops curve into the square's field. The central element is recessed apart from a central pellet, perhaps to take in inlay that has now been lost. While the upper surface is moulded the lower surface is flat. The piece has a red/brown colour with patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product. This, the form and finish, suggest a date for this piece perhaps in the 17th or 18th ce…

An incomplete probably Post-Medieval (1500-1700) openwork probable strap distributor with domed centre boss. It is missing just less than half. Measures 29.28x29.04x8.13mm and weighs 6.7g. The plate around the centre boss (c.12mm diameter) is more or less circular in shape with an oval perforation in each quarter (although only two of these remain intact). Between each quarter protrudes a semi-circular lug (again, only two survive) with a rivet hole c.3mm in diameter just below (three rivet holes survive). The plate is flat (2.68mm thick) though hollowed to the reverse behind the ce…

A fragment of a cast copper alloy strap fitting for a sword belt, dating to the Post-Medieval period. The fragment consists of the lower part of a shield-shaped plate with concaved sides and a rounded base with the stub of a hook projecting from the centre. The front face of the plate is decorated with a symmetrical foliage design in moulded relief. The design vaguely resembles leaves of the vine. The reverse is plain and undecorated. This type of fitting would have been attached to a scabbard strap. Read (2008: 219, no. 790) illustrates a similar mount which he dates to the 16th or 1…

One half of a Post-medieval cast copper-alloy two-part sword-belt toggle-clasp dating from the 16th to 17 century. Toggle-clasps have two sections which lock together, one with an eye and the other with a toggle-bar; this artefact is the section with a toggle-bar. The piece has a main plate with a bar extending from one end on the front of which is an integral D-shaped plate which therefore sits forward of the main plate and acted as a the toggle. The main plate has a rounded end adjacent to the the bar and toggle then slightly concave sides then a slightly expanded end opposite the b…

A copper-alloy Post Medieval hooked clasp sword belt fitting dating to 1500 to 1650. The fitting is the 'eye' and not the 'hook'. The body of the fitting would have been sub-rectangular but has two breaks one in each corner, the piece tapers into the 'eye' loop by a double moulded crescent. The outer face is decorated with two raised, rounded domes (now corroded) placed above the rivets. There are two rivet holes on the reverse both are encrusted with iron corrosion.

A post-medieval copper-alloy hooked mount. The central portion of the mount is sub-oval in plan and domed, with a hollow underside. It tapers towards the hook and is faceted with a flattened top and bevelled sides.  Extending upwards from the top is rounded lobe which has a central rivet hole (with an iron rivet still in situ), a transverse ridge at its base and a long, rounded projection at the top. At the base of the mount is a transverse groove above a backward-facing hook. There is a further, this time copper-alloy and integral, rivet and a rove just above the groove which would …

Two copper alloy rings, formed of a double loop of square sectioned wire the ends and middle of which are attached to each other and to the top of a knop. The knop has a circular top to which the wire is attached below which is a constriction then a oval terminal. Both the loops and terminal are complete with no breaks suggesting it was suspended from another obect through the loops. It is 20.1mm long, 16.6mm wide and the wire is 1.2mm thick; it weighs 1.06 grams. It is unclear what this is from. The finder has suggested a parallel with a wire looped terminal on a Medieval …

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 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 cast copper alloy spoon finial (length: 34mm; width at shoulders of blade: 13mm; thickness at shoulders of blade: 3mm; weight: 3.03g). Intregrally cast with the blade, the small handle/ end knob (length: 7mm) has bead, reel and spool mouldings. The blade tapers fairly gently from shoulders to the blade where the forked tip has been broken off to form a jagged edge. The front of the blade has been engraved/ incised with possible animal motifs. This decoration, however, is fairly crude and mostly consists of unidentifiable linear markings. The overall condition of the artefact is fai…

A fragment of Post-Medieval (late 17th or 18th century) copper alloy small spoon, consisting of part of the handle and terminal only. It measures 35.35x11.21x4.64mm and weighs 2.4g. The main body of this object is an elongated triangle in shape, flat in cross-section. The top edge is curved and also curves slightly backwards. At the centre of the curve is a collared globular terminal, topped with a knop. The pointed end of the triangle is missing but would have extended into a thin, twisted shaft, circular in section, and from which the spoon bowl would have projected. The upper sid…

A Post-Medieval (c.1690-1715) apparently copper-alloy-covered lead-alloy spoon with a diamond shaped or 'dognose' terminal and oval bowl. It measures 190mm long, 45mm wide and 15mm in depth (the latter two measurements being at the bowl). The dognose terminal is plain and 26mm wide with rounded edges. The stem of the spoon is flat with chamfered edges, forming a sub-rectangular profile. It tapers to a rat-tail support on the back of the bowl which stretches for just under half the bowl's length. On the back of the stem, just below the terminal, is a probable Maker's mark comprising…

A late medieval to early post-medieval cast lead alloy maidenhead spoon knop. This is the decorative end of a spoon broken off the top of a spoons stem. The figure depicts the bust of a female. Folds on the side and back of the head suggest the figure is wearing a long headdress. At the base there appears to be foliate or fleur de lis projections, rising from the base part way up her torso, one at the centre of the front and one at the back. Alternatively the figure may be kneeling with one leg forward and one back. The knop is now 22.7 mm long, 10.4mm wide and 8.6mm thick, weighing 5…

Part of the bowl from a lead-tin (pewter) spoon dating from c.1670 to the early 1700s. The bowl is oval in shape and is in a Queen Anne style with a feathered-like flower spray flanking the rat tail on the back. Only around three quarters of the bowl remains with a diagonal breakage across the width of the bowl, the stem is completely missing. It is now 68.1mm long, 49.6mm wide and weighs 28.69. Homer (1975, 44) illustrates base metal spoons with similar designs, which echo those on silver spoons of the same period, the late 17th and early 18th century.
