A cast copper alloy figurine bust in the form of the goddess Minerva. The object is in a good state of preservation although the surface is rather worn and pitted obscuring some of the finer details. The face of Minerva is particularly worn but the general mouldings clearly show that she was shown life-like, facing forward with curls of hair visible beneath the helmet along the forehead and the hair goes around the sides of the head.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a probable medieval buckle made from cast copper alloy. The object is curved, with a rounded front, and probably represents most of the outside edge of a buckle frame. Part of one side and the bar are missing. The object has openwork decoration, with eight or nine holes still visible, some incomplete. The reverse is concave to reflect the rounded front. It is in a slightly worn but fair condition with a dark brownish-green patina. Compare NMS-113884, NMS-2407F3 and HAMP-1F10A7, all thought to be 12th or early 13th century.
