Description: Gilded silver finger-ring set with a cabochon-cut gem. The hoop is circular internally, now a little distorted. It rises externally to a tall solid triangular bezel set with a small pinky-purple oval gem that is no wider than the width of the hoop. The bezel is separated from the rest of the hoop by transverse ridges each with a groove; further similar grooved ridges, or double grooves, divide the sides of the hoop into six panels, three on each side. Each panel is filled with identical decoration; four short lengthways grooves, one at each corner, emphasise…

County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Strap fitting made from two tapering pieces of copper alloy sheet, held together by a copper-alloy rivet at the apex and a second in the centre of the wider end. One plate is decorated with incised lines; it appears to have a double line across the middle dividing it into two small panels, the wider of which at least seems to have a border around. Within each panel is a double-line saltire (diagonal cross). The edges are rather abraded and quite a bit of surface is now missing. 10 mm wide, 18 mm long, rivet c. 2 mm thick. 0.87g. Medieval, probably 13th or 14th century.

Incomplete strap fitting made from copper-alloy sheet. The fitting is 12 mm wide at the attachment end and has a single central rivet hole here; it then continues to a loosely bent fold where the corners are obliquely trimmed, suggesting that the fold was designed to hold or link to another element. The object is broken at the fold. The fitting is decorated with fine incised lines; there is a pair of transverse lines at the attachment end and near the fold, with a saltire (a diagonal cross) in between. Surviving length19 mm; weight 0.88g. Medieval, probably 13th or 14th century.

Fragment of rim from a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel. The exterior is roughly smoothed with a good deal of sooting from the cooking fire, and the interior is very smoothly polished. The metal is a greyish green. The rim is slightly thickened to give it a plano-convex cross-section, with the curved face on the outside. The fragment measures 53 x 37 mm. The thickness of the body varies from 3 mm at the thickened rim to 1 mm at the breaks. The breaks are neither noticeably fresh nor very worn. It weighs 21.81g. There are two other rim fragments from cooking vessels from this g…

Copper-alloy buckle frame, a distorted oval shape and apparently made, rather than later bent into, this odd shape. The bar is narrowed and offset; at one end the loop then has a high, narrow curve and at the other end a shallower, wider curve. The outer edge then swells to the pin rest, where the cross-section is oval, 7 mm wide and 6 mm thick. There is a wide groove at the pin rest which runs all of the way around both front and reverse. All of the front of the buckle frame except for the bar is decorated with transverse grooves; the reverse is undecorated. It seems strange to p…

Cast copper-alloy tubular spout in the form of a dog's head. It was cast separately from the rest of the vessel and soldered on via a long sloping seam. The spout quickly tapers to become tubular; the end has a pair of upright rectangular slightly fluted ears, a moulded brow and muzzle with no extra decoration in the way of eyes, and open jaws between which a short cylinder projects to finish the spout. This is a simple example of a well-known 15th century type; it would originally have been attached to a pedestal-base ewer (see Lewis 1987, fig. 8A).

Rectangular frame, possibly from a buckle but more probably from a strap clasp. The sides are curved in the centre; both the bar and outer edge are narrowed. If this is a buckle, the bar would have held a plate and pin and the outer edge would have held a separate roller; if it is a clasp, the bar would have held a plate and the outer edge would have held a rotating end. In general, however, buckles of this shape have a thickened and grooved outer edge which may be imitating a separate roller, so it is more likely that the object is a clasp. 13th to 15th century.17

Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy thimble, only 11 mm tall. The rim is unthickened and undecorated, and has splits in it from the hammering process. It has been squashed out of shape, and now measures 18 x 14.5 mm at the rim. The sloping sides and the lower part of the conical crown are covered with an untidy spiral of small closely-set dots; the spiral goes up the thimble in a clockwise direction. The top of the crown has no dots.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small copper-alloy buckle. The frame is oval with an offset narrowed bar, and there is a projecting and grooved pin rest. The copper-alloy pin survives, and is corroded fast to one end of the bar. The frame measures 16 mm wide by 12 mm long, and the addition of the pin brings the length up to 14 mm.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Small silver annular brooch. The frame is circular, 17 mm in diameter and just over 2 mm wide, and is flat on one face and slightly rounded on the other. It is decorated on the rounded face with two lines of zigzag engraving forming a row of lozenges; the engraving is made by rocking the tool very slightly to and fro. There is a pin constriction on which a silver pin survives; this has a transverse ridge at the junction between the wrapped-around loop and the tapering shaft.

Record ID: SF6692
Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Composite strap-end made up of a forked spacer plate and two outer plates. The forked spacer is made of cast copper alloy and has a collared knop terminal. The two outer sheets are made of sheet copper alloy, and are attached by a rivet by the terminal and a second rivet in the centre of the attachment end. One of the sheets is fragmentary, but seems always to have been significantly narrower than the other sheet and the forked spacer. The other outer sheet is decorated at the attachment end, with an off-centre compass-drawn engraved circle, within which are four dots which pierce the…

Record ID: SF6693
Object type: PIN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Pin with large corroded biconvex head made of pewter (lead alloy), 10 mm in diameter and 8 mm thick. The shaft is made from copper alloy, now corroded, and is thin (maximum 1 mm in diameter) and evenly tapering to a sharp point. Close to the top the shaft is kinked. The thinness of the shaft, and the even taper, suggest a relatively modern date, but there remains a possibility that it is medieval.

Object type: HOOK
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Long decorated copper-alloy bar-mount ending in a hook, perhaps from harness, or another kind of strap, or perhaps even from a box. In the centre is a 17 mm square plate with an outwards curve in the centre of each edge. This is decorated with a worn enamelled design based on four circles with a small copper-alloy boss in the centre. Each circle appears to consist of a blue enamel ring, with perhaps an enamel dot originally in the centre; there is a concentric ridge around each ring. Between these and the central boss, as well as under the blue enamel, is the red corrosion which ca…

Workflow stage: Published
Four fragments of lead window cames, all very flimsy and delicate; the weight of glass that they could have held is small, and they must have come from a very small window. They are not well-preserved enough to allow precise dating; a medieval or post-medieval date bracket is all that can be given. They vary in width from 6-8 mm, and their total weight is 5.12g.

D-shaped copper-alloy buckle frame, which gently flares from the ends of the bar to the centre of the outer edge. All but the bar is decorated with bold oblique grooves.
