Fragment of rim from a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel. The exterior is roughly smoothed and the interior is more highly polished. The metal is a dark blackish-brown colour. The rim is thickened to give it a deep pointed-oval cross-section. The fragment measures 63 x 42 mm. The thickness of the body is generally 3 mm, but its maximum thickness at the rim is 7 mm. The breaks are reasonably fresh. It weighs 50.35g. There are two other rim fragments from cooking vessels from this group of finds, all probably from different vessels. The type was in use for a long period, from th…

Strap fitting made from a single slightly tapering sheet of copper alloy, bent in half and originally secured at the wider end by a single rivet, now missing. There is a wide gap at the central fold and the corners here have been obliquely trimmed, suggesting that the fold was perhaps intended to suspend something like a pendent mount or to hold something like a strap clasp. The fitting is decorated on the front half with a saltire (a diagonal cross) made up of neatly engraved zig-zag or rocker-arm ornament. The backplate is undecorated and is slightly narrower than the front. Maxi…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.

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.

Very worn medieval copper-alloy horse-harness pendant with incomplete loop. It is shield-shaped, with a straight top and sides curving to a point; the corners are now all worn and rounded. The shield (without loop) now measures 29mm long by 26mm wide. The loop is angled slightly forwards, flat on the reverse, and is pierced from side to side with a circular hole; it is now broken through this hole. No trace of any decoration survives on the shield, which is now only 1.5mm thick at most. The surviving total length is 35.5mm and the maximum width, at the broken loop, is 5mm. It weighs 5.58g.

Fragment of rim from a cast copper-alloy vessel, together with part of the angled handle lug which identifies it as a cauldron. The rim is smoothly polished inside and has oblique filemarks outside; both surfaces are black but this is very even and may be a deliberate coating rather than sooting. There are at least two breaks, one much more recent than the other. The handle is a faceted D-shape in section and is broken just below the rather rounded angle. The rim fragment is 56 x 23 mm maximum, and the handle projects 36 mm from the rim. The section of the handle is 10 x 10 mm.

Terminal and fragment of side from a copper-alloy spur. The terminal is an in-line figure-8, attached to the side by one of the loops of the 8; this loop is very worn. There are two small side projections at the junction between the side and the terminal. The side is a low triangle in section and only 6.5 mm wide; as only about 15 mm of it survive it is hard to tell whether it would have been straight or curved under the ankle, but the way of joining the terminal suggests that it might have been curved. A late medieval date seems most appropriate. Overall length 28 mm.

One outer plate from a composite strap-end, made of thin copper-alloy sheet. One face is smoothly polished and the other has traces of solder. The attachment end is slightly incurved and has a single central copper-alloy rivet. The attachment end is 12 mm wide and the strap-end then narrows to 11 mm wide before flaring into a sub-circular terminal 15 mm in diameter. This has a straight edge at the tip, presumably to accommodate a knop on the spacer plate. No decoration. Overall length 42mm. 14th century.

Record ID: SF3526
Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Silver annular brooch in the shape of an asymmetric heart. Near the apex, the left-hand side (as you look at it) has a small reverse curve so that the point is offset to the left. The frame is D-shaped in section, 2 mm wide and 1 mm thick. There is a pin constriction towards the top of the right-hand side, which retains a 22 mm long silver pin with similar D-shaped section and a tightly curled-over loop. Although the shape is unusual (and rather sentimental-looking?) the brooch must be medieval in date because of the method of constructing and attaching the pin.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Medieval gold finger-ring set with a garnet. The hoop is of very slender proportions - 0.7 x 0.6 mm - but, remarkably, intact and still nearly circular (c. 18-19 mm diameter). The hoop runs right up, without any shoulders, to a conical setting flaring out to accommodate a slightly irregular oval garnet (5.7 x 5.3 mm measured across the claws). This is cut flat across with very narrowly bevelled edges, and is held in place by four simple triangular claws. 12th to 14th century.
