Record ID: GAT-10EF31
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Gwynedd
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy mount. The brooch is formed of a single plate of copper alloy in the shape of a Tudor rose. Raised floral decoration is present on the front face. On the reverse, aside from seeing the underside of the decoration, the mount is plain with no visible attachment points. Due to the thinness of the metal the mount has become slightly warped and has a number of voids on its surface, probably occurring post deposition. Based on comparable examples the find is likely Post Medieval (1650-1750) in date.

Object type: FIGURINE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The find is the reverse half of a small figure. It consists of a full person as viewed from behind with very short legs and arms ending at the elbow.  This may be due to damage or erosion; however, it is possible that the figure may represent someone kneeling with their arms in front of them. No detail is visible on the figure. The reverse is flat, suggesting the figure may have been mounted to a larger object (although no attachment points are visible).   It is difficult to determine a function or period for the object, and no direct comparable examples can be found. A pr…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Early Bronze Age flat axehead. The find is truncated into two fragments with an irregular break towards the butt. The axe is pitted with a light brown and mid green patina. The surfaces are flat and do not show any signs of side flanges. From the butt, which is sub-oval in profile, the sides of the axe expand in width to the blade. Both tips of the blade are truncated, although one more so than the other. Both would have likely extended slightly further.

Record ID: GAT-715794
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Isle of Anglesey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy object. The find comprises a flat plate with three protruding fingers (one truncated) and an opposing circular perforation. The perforation is a warped oval, with the copper-alloy being substantially worn around the perforation, indicating that it was likely used as either a suspension loop or similar which has led to the warping of the copper-alloy. The object only features a suspension loop at one end, indicating it was perhaps a decorative fitting, possibly an animal tag, although no comparable objects could be found.
