Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and incomplete probable Medieval tin-alloy button of c. 13th - 14th century date. The button is circular in plan and convex in section and appears to be cast solidly from a tin-alloy. At the base of the head is a small linear slot, which would have held a separate looped shank, possibly of copper-alloy. This artefact appears highly polished in a silver colour, and two similar examples are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 275, nos. 1386 and 1388) which are dated to c. AD 1230-1260 and c. AD 1270-1350 respectively, with another very similar example on this database as HAMP…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and broken probable Medieval tin-alloy button with copper-alloy shank of 13th - 14th century date. The button would have originally been circular in plan, but because it has suffered moderate losses to the upper portion and side of the head it now appears hemispherical in plan; it is convex in section and cast solidly from a tin-alloy. Embedded within the head is a fine circular in section wire of copper-alloy which forms the separate looped shank. This artefact appears highly polished in a silver colour, and two similar examples are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 275…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a worn and corroded cast copper-alloy possible mount of possible Medieval date. The fragment is sub-oval in form and has very worn and abraded irregular edges; is slightly convex in profile, with the underside exhibiting slight concavity. On the upper surface of this fragment are a series of cross-hatched incised lines, and the remains of one complete and two partially formed circular apertures in a triangular formation. These two partial apertures are not visible on the underside, which may suggest that this fragment was a trial or error piece that was possibly not fini…

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A worn and corroded fragment of a late Roman cast copper-alloy bracelet dating to c. AD 250-410. The fragment exhibits moderate curvature but has broken short of the intended length at both ends. This fragment is broadly oval in section, although a narrow portion of the internal surface is flattened and might once have suggested a 'D' shaped section prior to the action of wear and corrosion on the bracelet. The outer surface of the bracelet has been decorated with a series of continuous transverse grooves resulting in a ridged appearance. This artefact has a light to mid green colour,…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy clapper bell of probable Roman date (c. AD 43-410). The bell is incomplete as the clapper is missing and the area around the opening is uneven, thus suggesting a further continuation of the body. This bell is pyramidal in form and square in plan. At the apex of the pyramidal body is an integrally cast sub-lozenical suspension loop (measuring 15.8mm in length, 18.4mm in width and 5.3mm thick) which is pierced by a circular aperture (7.3mm in diameter). From this, the body of the bell tapers to an incomplete and uneven open mouth, although traces of…

A worn and slightly corroded Medieval copper-alloy English jetton of 'Sterling Bust' type. The obverse has a forward facing bust with bifoliate crown within an inner circle, whilst the reverse has a long cross fourchee with three pellets in each quarter. It isn't possible to discern a central pellet on the obverse as is frequently common, however a small recessed circle is visible at the centre of the reverse. This form of jetton closely imitates Edwardian silver pennies, but with nonsensical legends comprised of pellets, annulets and figures imitating letters. Similar jettons are i…
