Object type: MIRROR
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete and fragmentary mirror disc of Roman date, probably a fine type hand mirror. The nineteen fragments represent around 90% of the mirror disc, with much of the circumference present. The mirror is made of a highly polished speculum (a copper alloy containing a high concentration of tin). Speculum tends to be brittle, and this is evidenced by the fragmentary and shattered state of this example. The mirror’s reflecting surface has survived in remarkable condition (for British soils), and retains a polished appearance. The mirror’s reflecting surface is slightly convex and is…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy handle lug from a cauldron of Medieval or early Post Medieval date. The lug is broken at one end, probably immediately before the right-angled turn, with this fragment probably representing the lower piece. The fragment is somewhat eroded, but originally would have been of pointed oval section, becoming more circular near the turn. The lug end expands as it approaches the attachment point. Some residues of sooting are evident on the surface.

This description has been completed by looking at the impression left by the seal matrix. The matrix is made from copper alloy and has a tall handle ending in a trefoil perforation. The die is oval in shape, measuring 24.5 x 20.9mm. The die depicts two figures wearing loose fitting clothes. It is impossible to say whether they are females or clerics, due to the amount of wear. The two figures are standing on a plinth; the one on the left is holding up its right arm and the one on the right is holding up its left arm. The legend around the figures and the perimeter of the matrix is ille…
