A cast copper alloy fragment, probably part of a late Early Medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) cast copper-alloy cheek piece from a harness fitting dating to the 11th century AD (cf. Williams (2007) Type 1). The fragment comprises a curled loop with teardrop shaped aperture at the centre, part of a second aperture on one side (which the object has broken across) and four or more incomplete decorative projections running around the exterior edge. One side of the fragment has crudely incised geometric decoration in the form of two bands, possible devolved interlace or zoomorphic forms.

Copper alloy mount. A cast rectangular plate which has been bent to penannular form. A series of incised chevrons appear on the outer side, though with a zone along one edge of the series undecorated. Probably originally of annular form with a butted seam, now partly flattened. Abraded. A function as a binding might be implied by the annular form. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1400 Length (as found): 19.5mm, Width: 7.4mm, Thickness: 1.5mm, Weight: 2.35gms

Copper alloy unidentified object. A rectangular sheet metal plate with a series of closely spaced [8 per cm] fine grooves of length 15mm extending from one straight edge, and with faint traces of grooves and a split in the opposite side. Probably for a craft usage. Marks of this form on bones have been associated with the making of pins, on ‘pinner’s bones’, though at a larger scale. Similar close spacing is also seen on comb teeth, so this object might have figured in the cutting of comb teeth – small one-piece bone combs for beards and moustaches are known fro…

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with an uneven upper surface on which appear straight lines moulded in bold relief. The lines may represent two separate arrowhead forms or perhaps an untidy monogram including letter forms resembling M and V. On the base – or the top as cast in an open mould - there is a central dimple with a crudely incised triangle around it. Patinated. The combination of relief features, dimple and incised base recur in medieval London (e.g. Egan 1998 fig. 233 no. 993, see also no. 990) where they may respect a medieval standard (ibid. table 15), and were poss…

Unidentified object fragment. A small shard from a flat thin [1mm] plate which is broken on all sides and bears a figurative inscribed scene on one flat face. This depicts the head of a creature, perhaps a fish or serpent with a rather human-looking eye and expression, with flames or other issue from its elongated snout. This might represent some entirely different subject in this form, for example a constellation. A border interrupted by a triangular-topped feature appears below the image and indeterminate elements of the wider composition appear above. Suggested date: Late Medie…
