A Bronze Age hoard of 40 LBA copper-alloy ingot fragments. Description: The deposit consists a ‘founder’s hoard’ of 40 LBA plano-convex ingot fragments (see catalogue for a record of each individual fragment). The total (unwashed) weight of the hoard is 15.18kg, with the heaviest being 1489g (SF 003) and the lightest a mere 51g (SF 021). All bar one of the ingots were archaeologically excavated from the same feature, but the outlier discovered only a short distance away is almost certain to have originated from this deposit – likely disturbed by later ploughing.

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval copper-alloy bezel which has detached from finger-ring (c. 1400-c. 1700). The object is flat and circular. The upper face is decorated with a deeply incised but relatively crudely applied design that would have acted as a matrix for impressing upon waxen seals. The design has a border of fifteen evenly spaced small circular pits which enclose a motif resembling a capital letter 'T' within a horseshoe shape; alternatively, it may be the letter M, perhaps for the Virgin Mary (compare BH-57A4E5). There are oblique grooves above the cross-bar which may represent sp…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small medieval metal 'hedgehog' mount of copper alloy. The object is shaped almost like a fan or a truncated ping-pong racket, though the overall form is considered to be zoomorphic and to be a representation of the head of a spined animal. Other examples with much more clearly bestial features have been recorded on the database, but thisn particular example is quite abstract. One side is convex and deeply cross-hatched to form crude diamond shapes, representing fur or spines, with a smooth, rounded knop below them functioning as a nose. The other is concave and has a projectio…
