Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy mount, probably of medieval or post-medieval date, c. AD 1400 to 1700.

On the front of the object has a sub-circular knop. The object has a concave reverse which is undecorated however there is some ferrous corrosion from the knop on the front but may also have been the means of attaching the mount to a a larger object. There is a similar object recorded on the PAS database, see LANCUM-64D34F.

An incomplete copper alloy scabbard chape dating to the period AD 1500 to 1600. The object is broadly sub-triangular in plan with a bulbous, downward pointing tip.

A copper alloy pointed oval seal matrix dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1200 to AD 1400. The object is a pointed oval or vessica shape in plan and flat with the remains of an integral lug set on a central rib along the longitudinal axis of the reverse. The front of the object bears a motif and legend however it is too worn to be read or identified. Sealing was used for authenticating documents for around 300 years in medieval Britain. Pointed oval shaped seals such as this were popular during the 13th century when they were particularly preferred by women (Harvey and McGui…

Object type: DRESS HOOK
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy dress hook dating to the post medieval period, c. AD 1550 to AD 1700. The object is pentagonal in shape with a sharp hook projecting out from a point and back. There is some moulded decoration and possibly an openwork design however the object is quite worn which makes interpretation difficult. There are two projections from one side of the object and it is likely that these would have turned 90 degrees and joined to create a rectangular loop for attachment to clothing. Read 2008, Early Post Medieval Class E, Type 3. See number 403.
