Copper alloy probable buckle. Cast asymmetrical sub-rectangular double looped buckle frame with an ornately moulded and expanded outer loop bearing complex zoomorphic or vegetal motifs, with small fronds extending to overlap the smaller rectangular inner loop. The flat underside of the outer edge bears multiple drilled pits of which only one or two are carried through the object, the others being shallow and blind, as if an openwork scheme had been attempted but abandoned. Initially a post-medieval date was considered on the basis of the form, but the reddish tint of metal and the deco…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy object of Roman or medieval date. The object is an incomplete shank of octagonal section. There section is essentially a square with a narrow facet at each corner. File marks are visible along all sides, and the object has a dark brown patina. One end is broken while the other terminates with two prongs. The prongs are curved and appear to be a modification of an object that once served a different purpose. The object seems too thick to be a needle or bodkin. The prongs are suggestive of a nail cleaner, but again the spacing between the prongs seems to wide f…

Copper alloy and silver metalworking debris. A cast wedge-shaped object with a thin flap of copper alloy folded back against one side, with patches of silvery white metal and black areas on either side. It appears the thin flap was folded after the silvery metal had accumulated. This may alternatively be a part-melted or recycled object, perhaps one which had been plated. Had the white metal not appeared, this might have been taken for a vessel foot of similarly indeterminate date – albeit sooting is absent.
