Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy part of a Medieval swivel, from the later Medieval, c.1300-1500. It is only one part, being a D-shaped loop which would have attached to an identical loop via a loop. On the flattened side there is a circular hole which is where it would have attached to the other sections. On either side of the hole the loop terminates into stylised animal heads with their mouths open, the flattened side being held in their mouths. The loop narrows away from the flattened edge. The loop measures 26.08 x 24.51mm and the flattened edge is 7.09mm in width.

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy Medieval seal matrix, 14th century in date. Copper alloy circular seal matrix, hexagonal tapering handle with a broken circular suspension loop at top. Device of, in the centre, a twig-like tree with a nest at the top; in this, a bird facing left. Either side of this two figures rather crudely drawn: on the left, a young man in profile facing right, and on the right, a rather long head of a woman in profile facing left, no real details visible. Unfortunately the edge of the seal is missing so no legend remains. A similar seal matrix is already recorded on…
