Object type: TOILET ARTICLE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy toilet spoon. The shaft is rectangular, 3 x 2 mm, and has a groove running up the front diagonally from bottom right (as you look at it) to top left. This appears to be a seam due to construction from a flat piece of sheet; the folded-over part is cut away at the top to leave a thin projection from the underside which is bent over to form a partly missing suspension loop. At the other end, the shaft gently expands to form a rounded concave bowl 6 mm wide. The top of the shaft on the front and the bottom of the shaft on the reverse are both decorated with the same motif…

Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper-alloy ring, sub-circular in section with an angle on the exterior. Scar to either side showing that a number of rings were cast together in a row. Traces of black coating on one face. As it is not smoothly finished, it is perhaps unlikely to be a medieval brooch or buckle frame; perhaps it is a medieval or post-medieval harness ring, suspension ring, part of a chain, etc. 26 mm external diameter, section of ring is 3 mm in diameter.

Object type: STRAP FITTING
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy object, probably a strap fitting. It has a split attachment end, sub-circular in shape and 8 mm wide, with an ?integral rivet which has now burst from a neat circular hole in the opposite half. A narrow neck joins this to a substantial hemispherical boss with hollow reverse, 9 mm in diameter and 7 mm tall. A pointed terminal, perhaps with some transverse mouldings, completes the object. No close parallel is known, so the date is uncertain. Total length 30 mm.

Workflow stage: Published
One end of a gold penannular 'tress-ring'. 10 mm wide and 0.6 mm thick, the surviving length is 19 mm long and weight is 1.09g. The exterior face has a raised rounded border on its three original sides, surrounding nine longitudinal ribs separated by ten rounded concave grooves to give an evenly corrugated effect. Some of the grooves have longitudinal scratches which may be from the mould or from later finishing. The interior face is flat apart from a slight ridge at the original short edge, which may be a result of gentle hammering or, more probably, a reflection of the original moul…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy strap-end. The attachment end is split and has two rivet holes, one retaining a copper-alloy rivet. Below is the 'trilobate' or 'fan-shaped' motif, consisting of a raised band curving around each rivet, a raised pelta shape in the centre, and a longer band curving around all below. Most of the strap-end is taken up with a symmetrical abstract design in inlaid niello, now mineralised and silvery. The design consists of triangles and circles and gently curving lines, and runs right up to the edges of the strap-end and down to the animal-head terminal with no borders. The an…

Workflow stage: Published
Triangular fragment of gilded copper-alloy mount or buckle plate, 25 mm long. The apex has a circular ?setting 8 mm in external diameter, surrounded by a raised border, with a perforated lug, now broken, on the reverse. The triangle then flares to 12 mm wide and is decorated with an interlaced ribbon-like animal made up of two raised lines flanking a row of raised dots. If the mount/buckle is held with the apex to the right, some features of the animal may be tentatively discerned. At one point a dot is enclosed within a sub-circular ring which interrupts one of the lines; this may …

Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas's Class G, missing part of its terminal. The attachment end is narrow (5 mm wide) and split and has a single copper-alloy rivet. At the base of the split is a transverse moulding which runs around the sides and front, and below this is a moulded animal head, now rather worn but apparently never very well modelled, with just a groove on the moulding separating the 'ears' and a pointed upturned snout. The jaws grip an 8.5 mm wide openwork plate which perhaps originally took the form of an asymmetric interlaced animal; there are four complete p…

Broad period: ROMAN

Long cast copper-alloy end-cap from a Roman knife handle, rectangular in section and becoming thicker towards the terminal. The long sides are slightly concave, and one end is incurved and split to take the iron tang. Two circular holes on either face near this end may be rivet holes to fix the end-cap to the tang; they are now filled with copper alloy corrosion. Corroded traces of the tang survive. At the other end are two small projections and then a circular terminal. The terminal has barely visible traces of punched circle decoration, and there are some hints of engraved lines (pe…
