It is broadly rectangular in shape, with ornate outer edges and the frame thicker on the left hand side (5.44mm) than the right (2.21mm). The thinner bar would have had the pin, now missing, which would have rested upon the thicker bar. Approximately 3.63mm down the thicker bar there is a grooved recess, denoted by two transverse linear incisi…

Object type: TILE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a medieval coarse ware tile, dating to the period AD 1250 - AD 1500 The fragments manufactured with an evident grog temperate with very little inclusions. The fragment has oxidised well as the dominant colour is orange, but there is also a visible reduced dark grey core. The design of the tile is inlaid, and it can be suggested that this was most likely achieved when the clay was in a plastic state. The design kind on the tile is scrolling foliage with a curved boarder. Judging by the shape of the tile, it was originally a four sided shaped, potentially used for fl…

The fragment has oxidised well as the dominant colour is orange, but there is also a visible reduced dark grey core. The design of the tile is inlaid, and it can be suggested that this was most likely achieved when the clay was in a plastic state. The design is the lower part of a breed of bird.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy D shaped single loop buckle dating to the period AD c.1250-AD c.1450 The frame of the buckle does not taper, and stays the same width and thickness. The pin does move freely 180 degrees from the buckle and its attachment. The entire buckle remains undecorated, but the frame uniquely dips itself inwards at the back and then protruded outwards to create the pin bar. Only a fragment of the pin survives, but it is evident that in order to stay intact, the material was wrapped around the back bar. Despite this, the pin does freely move across the bar, and…
