A fragment of an unidentified copper alloy object, possibly a buckle or a mount. The fragment consists of a flat curved plate with a perforation at one end and a pointed forked end at the other. One of these forked projections has been broken off, the break itself is quite worn. The surface of the plate is decorated with what seems to be a leaf pattern with a central grooved line and symmetrical lines radiating out at an angle. The surface of the object is a mid brownish-green. No other parallels have been found of this object and so it is not possible to date this object.

An iron buckle of unknown date. It is 62.75mm long, 46.82mm wide and 5.54mm thick. It weighs 30.73g. The frame is rectangular and is not decorated. The pin is also iron and is bent round the bar and broken, the majority is missing. Buckles as functional as this could have been used at any date. The object was found at Towton Battlefield, but it is not known whether it is related to the battle in 1461.

A pair of copper-alloy sub-triangular plates of unknown purpose or date. The plates have two coincident perforations, one close to the centre and the other near to one point. It is possible that the object is a strap-end; however, it may have served a different purpose.There is no decoration on any surface, but traces of a black coating can be observed on two of the surfaces.This type of coating is often seen on dress accessories and is sometimes referred to as lacquer (Buckles 1250-1800, Whitehead, 2003. p8). The degree of corrosion is extensive and suggests that the item is of s…

Object type: HARNESS RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Age uncertain. Probably Iron Age/Roman, copper alloy, cast, medium size, probable suspension belt loop or possible horse harness ring. Length 21.6mm, Width 21.6mm, Thickness 4.2mm, Diameter 21.6mm, Weight 4.9g. This ring is relatively thick with a circular cross-section which could indicate being of some age and found in association with Iron Age and Roman coins and artefacts that also have this rusty brown appearance and surface corrosion.

A copper alloy Unidentified object of uncertain date. All that survives is a broken trapezoidal plate of copper alloy. One face is decorated with incised lines about 3mm from the edge forming a border. The lines cross each other at the corners. There is another fainter line across the plate transversely, about 7mm from the border line. The other end of the plate is missing. and the breaks are worn. In the centre of the plate is an opening with rounded corners. The hole seems to be D shaped, but the missing end makes it impossible to be certain. This has similarities with some Roman bu…

Circular domed object made from gold, consisting of a circular back sheet, an incomplete filigree collar, and a domed upper sheet. The back sheet is 13.0mm in diameter and was probably originally flat; it is now very slightly concave, around a flat rim underneath the narrow flange running around the domed upper sheet. There are several small indentations, as if the back sheet has been poked repeatedly by a sharp point. There is one tiny circular hole close to the edge and, directly opposite and close to the edge, a tear perhaps through a second hole. The surviving hole is c. 0.6mm in …

A bent and corroded part of a cast copper-alloy sheet plate from a buckle of uncertain date. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape. It tapers gradually from a width of 10.8mm at the attachment end to 7.0mm towards the terminal, beyond which the sides curve to a (now abraded) rounded terminal. At the opposite end there is an off-centre tab; the tab on the other side has been lost. This is a pair of rivet holes at the frame end with a third hole central at the terminal. The object has corroded to an orange-brown colour, with large patches of light-green and off-white corrosion produc…

A cast copper alloy pin of uncertain date. The pin tip is flattened with a rectangular section and narrows along the shaft tapering to a squared section. From this point the shaft again widens to form a flattened, rectangular top this time at 90° angle to the tip. Both ends of the pin are very worn and while its function is not apparent it may have been used as a pin for a buckle or brooch. The metal is a dark brownish-black colour and is slightly worn. The pin is 33.6mm long, 2.7mm wide and weighs 1.4g. Due to the lack of any diagnostic features and the loss of patination it is no…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, probably a buckle or brooch. Date Unknown. The frame was probably circular or sub-circular in plan when complete. At one end of the frame there is an incomplete extension, circular in cross-section, which may be part of a constriction for a pin or a bar. At the opposite end of the frame there is an old break. On the outer face of the frame there is an integral circular feature with a bifid projection. This may represent a stylised bird's head. At the front the circular feature is concave and has a small central circular depression. Between thi…
