County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified copper-alloy object of an uncertain, probably Medieval to Post Medieval, date. The extant piece is sub-rectangular in plan and flat. It has broken and jagged edges on all sides. One face is decorated with an unclear incised motif comprised of transverse grooves set between parallel incised borders. One element is broadly spiral shaped and the motif may continue, resembling a snail shell. On the reverse is a square-shaped prkecting element which may have functioned as soom form of lug indicating that the piece was mounted or suspended.

An incomplete copper-alloy mount of uncertain Roman to medieval date. An elongated sub-rectangular strip of slightly asymeterical shape, no bent into an irregular C-shape. The outer face is undecorated and has a slight lip along one edge. The inner face is decorated with two wide, shallow, parallel, longitudinal grooves running along the centre, each featuring a line of incised ring-and-dot motifs placed alternately with one another. Either end is slightly bevelled and there is no obvious evidence of a break, although it may have been cut down from a larger object. Two circular ho…

Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy strap fitting of uncertain date. The object is a horizontally flattened, sub-oval loop shape with one side slightly straighter than the other. It has a pointed oval cross-section. There are areas of greater wear on each longer side, perhaps where a strap was attached originally, suggesting that it may be a section of horse gear. The surface of the metal is heavily worn and corroded. Without further diagnostic details the object is difficult to date precisely as loops such as these were used as strap and harness fittings from the Iron Age onwards.

A complete copper-alloy bead of uncertain Roman to post-medieval date. It is a flattened spherical shape with a circular hole through the centre c.6.4mm in diameter. The surface of the metal is corroded in places, but a fine dark brown patina covers much of the object. Beads such as these are ubiquitous and as such difficult to assign more than a very broad date range. Diameter: 16.73mm, thickness: 8.72mm, weight: 10.30g

A complete copper-alloy unidentified object of an uncertain date. Now heavily worn, it consists of a circular-sectioned loop. At the apex is an internally cast rounded projection. The projection may have been attached to a vessel, making the object potentially a vessel lug. However, this cannot now be determined with certainty. The dark green patina and weight potentially suggested a Roman to Medieval date.  Diameter: 19.6mm; Width: 6.4mm; Thickness: 5.5mm; Weight: 13.60g.
