Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Large copper alloy disc. Irregular shape and bent across the centre. 41mm in diameter. Lots of scratch marks on both sides but particuarly on the inside close to the fold. Exact function is uncertain but may be a scrap piece of copper alloy use to clean metallic/conductive parts on machinery. Form is similar to coins and tokens used as a 17th to 19th century love tokens, but the scratch marks on theinside suggest it had a more practical function.

County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of thin copper-alloy sheet, now roughly square (42 x 32.5 x 0.7 mm), with three of its four edges broken. The fragment is curved, and if the curve were extended, it would give a maximum diameter of 120 mm. The upper edge is the only original edge, and this is undecorated; below, the strip is decorated with repoussé dots arranged in pairs. There is a horizontal line of paired dots below the rim, and what is probably a lattice design below this. The dots are convex on the exterior and concave on the reverse. The surface has traces of a dark green patina. At first, the …

Probable copper alloy lid from an Anglo-Saxon workbox. The lid is circular thin sheet of copper alloy with a central hole, containing a suspension loop. The loop consists of a single oval strip of copper alloy looped over at the top, threaded through the hole and then splayed on the reverse to secure it to the lid. Attached to the suspension loop is another small strip of copper alloy looped through the suspension loop, perhaps forming the first link in a chain. There is a further hole to either side of the central hole although it is not certain whether these are areas of damage. …

A post medieval copper alloy wire-work ornament probably dating 16th - 17th century. This object is made from two types of wire, one of a very fine gauge and one of a thicker gauge. The object is bent back on itself, if it were laid flat the shape is similar to that of an oak leaf created from the thicker gauge of wire. At the bottom of the leaf shape the two strands of the wire are twisted 2-3 times. The finer gauge of wire is tightly coiled and is irregularly wrapped around the frame of the leaf shape infilling it. It is unclear if this object is complete or a fragment, the end…
