County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A slightly worn but probably complete cast copper-alloy unidentified object of unknown date. This object is formed from a circular in plan ring with a central quatrefoil aperture, and is sub-oval to sub-rectangular in section. Extending from the central aperture to either side of the ring and on both surfaces are two cast ridges which are 'U' shaped in plan; in profile these connect to form an uneven 'X'. It is possible that these recessed areas with raised ridges might have held a strap or fastening, although no traces of wear are visible to the interior surface. The body of the ring…

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper-alloy Medieval seal matrix probably dating to c. AD 1250-1400. This artefact is formed from a sub-rectangular in plan and octagonal in section fluted handle, with a circular aperture at the exterior edge that forms the sub-oval suspension loop. The handle appears to be slightly offset from the centre of the die in plan, producing a slightly irregular profile. From the handle, the body slopes inwardly in a slight concave manner before expanding to the edges of the die. The die is circular in plan and is preserved in fine condition. It depicts a crouched hare with…

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn and slightly corroded lead-alloy token of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1250-1800). Possibly Powell Type 13 (frameworks) or 30 (pellets). It is decorated on one side with a raised central pellet and a series of lines extending from it; the other side is plain and undecorated. The token has a thin body with a light grey patina. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and examples with simple designs could be Medieval to late Post Medieval in date (c. AD 1250-1800).
