A cast copper alloy vessel fragment of Medieval or Post Medieval date. The fragment comprises the foot of a potleg, likely for a cooking vessel (74.5mm long, 27.9mm wide at the bottom of the foot, 33.7mm wide at the break, 15.1mm max depth). The potleg is sub-trapezoidal in section, reaching its widest point at the break and tapers gradually to the foot. Much of one surface is covered in iron corrosion product suggesting iron was present in the deposition environment. The metal is a mottled green patina and weighs 152.28g. The proximity of other fragmentary vessels (NMGW-BC7A86,…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near complete sheet copper alloy strap end of Medieval date (c.AD 1350-1500). The single sheet is tongue-shaped in plan with a single central rivet on the wider end (resulting in a depth of 3.1mm). The plate measures 10.1mm at the wide end and is slightly bent with an overall distorted length of 31.7mm and 0.6mm thick. The other end tapers to a width of 8.5mm before tapering more dramatically to a rounded point. The strap end has some similarities to one illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 2002: p.139 no. 640 and p.142 no. 659, 660. The surface of the object is corroded with patc…

A near-complete cast copper alloy sheet plate from a composite strap end of Medieval date (c.AD 1230-1450). The plate is tongue-shaped (0.5mm thick), tapering from the wide end (16.5mm wide) with two rivet holes (missing the rivets) to the narrower curved end (c.9.5mm wide).

The strap-end would have been riveted together with another plate of the same form with a forked spacer between. Bot…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy and glass finger ring of Medieval date. The Ring has a four clawed setting at the bezel holding a worn white gem, likely made of glass. The bezel is 8.9mm wide, 10.1mm long and 5mm thick. The setting is placed slightly off centre on the bezel, so projects perpendicular to the hoop by around 2mm. The hoop is roughly plano-convex in section and of uneven width, partially due to damage. The widest part of the hoop is to one side of the bezel (7.3mm), and the thickness is variable and uneven, being c. 1.6mm at the sides of the hoop and 2mm at the back. The internal dia…
