Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early medieval copper alloy mount of Anglo-Saxon style, possibly a shield boss mount and probably dating to the 5th to 7th centuries AD The mount is circular and is complete, but much of the iron backing is lost (with a diameter of 30.5mm, a maximum depth of 9.0mm and a weight of 15.4g).

A middle early-medieval copper-alloy brooch of 8th- to early 9th-century date. The brooch is fragmentary, represented by the distorted upper bow and part of the spring only (with a surviving distorted length of 30.3mm, a surviving depth of 14.9mm and a weight of 2.5g).

Medieval copper alloy seal matrix, shield-shaped and with a length of 21.5mm, a width of 16.8mm, a thickness of 1.9mm and a weight of 2.4g.

A suggested interpretation may be suggested: *S' ELVEI CLERICI (Seal of Elvei, Cleric or Elvei Clerk). The V may possibly…
