Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy composite strap-end, made from three pieces of copper-alloy sheet sandwiched together. The middle piece is thicker but shorter and functions as a spacer plate. The lower plate has broken and a little over half survives. The upper plate is decorated with a border of rocker-arm engraving along each long edge, and a row of saltires of rocker-arm in between. The two outer plates are held together by a single copper-alloy rivet at the attachment end, and all three plates are held together at the other end by solder. The strap-end is 10 mm wide at the attachment end, and tapers…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Circular mount made of copper alloy, flat and 23.5 mm in diameter, with integral square-section spike or rivet on the reverse. The mount is now a bit battered and the rivet has been squashed to lie flat along the reverse. The upper surface has sunken and counter-relief decoration which was almost certainly originally enamelled. The motif is now very unclear, possibly due to the lack of enamel; but it appears to be asymmetrical, possibly a bird looking back over its shoulder, with a disproportionately large wing. The ornament dates it to the medieval period.

Small copper-alloy belt mount.

To top and bottom are smaller slightly rounded lobes, also slightly domed, each with a separate copper-alloy rivet. Similar mounts from London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 1160-3) come from contexts of the second half of the 14th century.

Workflow stage: Published
Gilded copper-alloy buckle plate. Rectangular, it measures 37 x 28 mm, and has a pin slot and frame recesses. The plate folds under at the hinge loops to form a short underplate. There is a rivet hole at each corner; the two nearest the hinge loops are matched by two in the underplate, and one of these retains a copper-alloy knob-headed rivet. The plate is very corroded, and the only decoration surviving is an engraved line (made either by linking punchmarks, or by rocking the engraving tool) which divides the hinge loops from the rest of the plate.

Fragment of copper-alloy rod, 45.5 mm long and rectangular in cross-section (5 x 3 mm). It has one narrow side cut into a series of 'crenellations' with the raised parts 3 mm long and the lowered parts 4 mm long. Now corroded to a rough red patina, there are traces of gilding on one face which indicate a medieval date. The function is much harder to assess; although there are buckles with crenellated edges, they are of different proportions.

Heavy-duty copper-alloy mount, probably from a large belt or harness. Made from a single piece of copper alloy, one end is a circular plate 26 mm in diameter with a large integral rivet on the reverse. A tapering projection from the circular plate bends around and expands at the end to accommodate a perforation into which the other end of the rivet fits. The bend is now broken. This mount is probably medieval; the alternative, that it is a late Roman belt-fitting (a 'rosette-plate'), seems less likely due to the lack of decoration and the rather large heavy feel of the object.

Fragment of curved sheet, made from corroded iron interleaved with copper alloy. On the outside of the sheet are two copper-alloy bands running around the curve, one 4 mm wide and one tapering from 7 mm to 5 mm wide. The proportions and degree of curvature are right for this to be part of the case of an iron padlock which has been brazed together and coated with copper-alloy. The copper-alloy strips are unusual, but may be for reinforcing or purely decorative. Iron and copper-alloy padlocks date to the medieval period.

Strap-end, now probably incomplete, made from two sheets of copper alloy. The sheets are cut into an ornate shape and there is a central longitudinal line of rocker-arm engraving on one sheet. They are very tightly and precisely joined together and it is very hard to see what joins them; perhaps solder, or perhaps a very well-concealed rivet. At the (presumably) broken end the two sheets come apart very slightly. As the sheets are so tightly joined, with little room for a strap between them, perhaps this is an extremely long terminal from a 14th-century composite strap-end.

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).

The die is engraved with the Virgin and Child within an architectural frame, consisting of a tower to either side of the figures and three towers above. Below, under a V-shaped roof, is a small kneeling figure looking to the left and with the hand raised in front of the face. The inscription around reads S' ROB'I FIL' RANULF COVh' (or possibly TOVh') - Seal of Robert son of Ranulph Covh... This style of seal matrix was common on…

Copper-alloy seal matrix, now very corroded. The die was originally circular, and 18 mm in diameter; much of the edges are now missing. The reverse rises to a hexagonally facetted conical handle which ends in a broken-off pierced terminal. The central motif is a lamb and flag; the flag is small and engraved with a saltire, and the flagstaff extends up to end in a cross which starts the inscription. Remarkably, enough of the edge survives to be certain of the inscription; it reads + ECCE AGNVS DEI (Behold the Lamb of God). 14th century.

There are radiating filemarks all around the frame, with less neat ones on the reverse. The two pointed arms of a short integral spacer plate both survive complete; they step out to become wider near the frame, with a tapering slot in the centre to accommodate the (now missing) pin. There are traces of solder on both sides of the spacer, where the thin outer sheets would originally have been fixed.

Plate, perhaps from a strap clasp or book clasp, made by folding a long rectangular strip of copper alloy in half. There is a wide circular gap at the fold, 5.5 mm in external diameter. The strip tapers at the fold to 6 mm wide, presumably to accommodate some kind of frame. One half is decorated with an engraved motif, probably a plant, which has two decorated leaves and a triangular flower in the centre. To either side is rocker-arm engraving. The plant appears to be the right way up when the plate is held with the fold downwards.

Workflow stage: Published
Large copper-alloy ring, 42 mm in external diameter. In cross-section it is generally oval, 5 mm wide by 4 mm thick, but there are various areas of wear which vary this. The two most obvious areas of wear are at 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock, and are more obvious in a reduction in thickness (from one face only) than in width. A ring of this size was probably the frame from a 14th-century annular brooch, but could have had other uses as well, such as a suspension ring from a 15th-century hanging 'laver' or spouted bowl.

Cast lead blank for a seal matrix. It is circular and 25 mm in diameter, and on the reverse has a relief fleur-de-lis with tightly curled side petals. The stem of the fleur-de-lis rises up in a tall triangle which would presumably have eventually been drilled to provide a pierced lug. The other face is very flat and smooth. Part of the edge is missing, and it looks as if this may have been an original casting flaw. This may have been why the matrix was discarded; it was presumably lost before it could have been put back in the melting pot. Lead seal matrices are usually 13th century.

Large copper-alloy thimble. The unthickened rim is decorated with a single groove. The straight sides and conical top are covered with a spiral of circular hand-made indentations; when viewed from the top, the spiral runs clockwise. There are some splits and folds in the rim showing that it has been made by the 'stamping and hammering' method. There is no maker's mark. 15th or 16th century.
