387. Felsted, Essex: medieval silver buckle
(2005 T355)
Date: Late 13th–early 14th century
Discovery: Found by Mr J Loughlin while metaldetecting
in September 2005.
Description: A complete, cast silver Medieval buckle.
The buckle frame is oval in plan, with a decorative lip
formed from an integral furl of silver that extends from
the inner edge of the front of the frame and curves
over the top of the frame with a ‘ruffled’ appearance. It
is recessed with a grooved pin rest.
At either end of the pin bar are decorative globular
knops with a punched ring-and-dot design. The silver
pin survives intact and is simply curled around the
pin bar. It has a transverse ridge decorated with the
same ring-and-dot motif as the globular knops. Length:
12.3mm; width: 13.1mm; weight: 1.65g.
Discussion: While buckles of this type usually date to
the 14th century, the terminals and pin of this brooch
are suggestive of 13th century.
Disposition: Saffron Walden Museum.

388. Thaxted, Essex: medieval silver buckle fragment
(2006 T586)
Date: 14th century
Discovery: Found by Mr K Clark while metal-detecting
in August 2006.
Description: A late Medieval fragment of a buckle
with integrated plate. The buckle itself is largely lost.
The plate is decorated with a single flower, which was
probably originally enamelled. At one end it is drilled
with a hole for attachment to a leather strap.
Length: 31mm.
Disposition: Saffron Walden Museum.

389. stanton st. john, oxfordshire:
medieval silver-gilt buckle (2006 T337)
Date: 14th–15th century
Discovery: Found by Mr B Bastin while metal-detecting
in June 2006.
Description: A silver ornate double-looped buckle,
with concave sides and ornate moulded decoration.
The pin rest is decorated with an expanded triangular
section with radiating grooves creating a fan-shape; this
pattern is mirrored on the opposite edge. The concave
sides are also decoratively moulded to appear as curved
ridges with a projection and pellet decoration. The pin
is missing and the overall shape of the buckle is slightly
distorted.
Discussion: The buckle is similar in form to one found
in London and dated as above (Egan & Pritchard 1991,
p. 88, no. 384). Length: 21.2mm; thickness: 1.9mm;
weight: 1.31g.
Disposition: Generously donated by the finder and
landowner to Oxfordshire Museums Service.

394. manby, Lincolnshire: medieval silver-gilt
container (2005 T129)
Date: 13th century
Discovery: Found by Mr G Edwards while metaldetecting
in January 2005.
Description: A Medieval container, probably a needle
case, in the form of a hollow tube with an internal
tube designed to be extended in a telescopic fashion.
The outer tube is decorated with three gilded, ribbed
bands, each with fleur-de-lis terminals. The terminals
have been bent away from their original positions. Two
of them, diametrically opposed at each end, may have
had a mechanical function connected with opening and
extending the telescopic component.
Disposition: The Collection, Lincoln.

395.Tarrant Valley, Dorset: medieval silver-gilt
container (2005 T505)
Date: Late 15th–16th century
Discovery: Found by Mr M Pegg & Mr W Pegg while
metal-detecting in August 2005.
Description: A late Medieval miniature container or
terminal formed of a hexagon fashioned into the shape
of a tree trunk with lopped branches. Two circular
apertures are positioned beneath a double-banded
collar at its neck, one of which appears to be plugged
with iron, possibly the vestige of a pin. The function of
this object is unclear. Comparison with dress-fittings
suggests the date above.
Disposition: Dorset County Museum withdrew;
returned to finder.
