Record ID: SUR-44C0C7
Object type: STUD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded and incomplete cast copper alloy medieval enamelled heraldic stud or mount, probably from horse harness. The plate displays arms quarterly, with a cross fleury on a red enamel (gules) field in two quarters and an illegible device on a blue enamel field (azure) in the other two. No traces of gilding or tinning are evident so the colour of the metals in the blazon are unclear. All of the margins of the plate have suffered considerable loss and the original shape is unclear. The reverse is undecorated and has a single shank around 10mm in length.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy weight. It is shaped like an elongated sphere. The neck is long and flat, sub regtanular in shape. In the centre, near the tip is a suspension hole. The base is flat in the centre and would therefore stand. Weights like these are seen in the Roman (for example SUSS-EA2CCC) and Medieval (NLM-5D1F37) periods. The weight of 192g does not accord with the Roman weight system, as 1 semis is equvilent to 164.5g. It is closer to the Troy system, where 1/2 lb would be 186.5g, this was probably in use from the late 14th century, only being sta…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy and textile strap end. A pair of plates or a single plate folded lengthways with an ogival outer end and a rivet hole of diameter 1.6mm at its inner end, which was probably engrailed. A further rivet at the front end was only noted during image processing. Woven fabric, now of a buff tint, remains trapped between the plates. This might point to a later medieval date within the available range as sumptuary laws enacted following the Black Death, particularly the Statute of 1369, restricted the wearing of leather straps by the lesser sort. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1400…

Object type: CHAPE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of an iron probable late medieval to early post-medieval scabbard chape. Only the lower end of the object survives. This is a cast, hollow flat triangular chape with a jagged break around its upper edge and a flattened globular terminal projecting from its lower end. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded.
Scabbard chapes are more commonly made from sheet metal, but cast examples in copper alloy and iron are known. Compare PAS records: PUBLIC-03A532, LON-0444D0 and WMID-C808A3. It seems likely to be of late medieval to early post-medieval date.

Object type: CHAFING DISH
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy medieval vessel lug. The zoomorphic terminal has with two wide slanting grooves for ears, two vertical grooves for eyes, a V-shaped groove on either side for the open mouth, and a moulded groove running around the top to form an up-turned nose. A hole runs right through along the long axis from the back of the head to the open mouth, and this would have held the end of a rectilinear handle. An example from a shallow sheet-metal bowl (not a chafing dish) is published in Egan 1998, fig. 143. The surface of the metal is slightly corroded and the break…

Object type: LAMP HANGER
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy lamp hanger of Medieval date. It has been cast in one and measures 43.00mm in height and 24.45mm in width. It consists of a central vertical shaft which terminates in a suspension loop. The base of this shaft flares outwards and is in the centre of three arms, which project at right angles from the central shaft. Each arm is incomplete due to old breaks, the missing terminals probably originally had circular perforations through them from which chains would have hung, to hold the lamp below. There is another circular perforation, through a small central …

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy unidentified object fragment. A fragment of pressed metal sheet with a series of closely-spaced grooves with a central impression, and with a small [diameter 1.7mm] fixing hole to one side. The use of a riveted fixing may point to an earlier date than would usually be considered for an otherwise non-diagnostic scrap. Possibly a mount from the corner of an object. Suggested date: possibly Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1350-1650
