A Medieval stone (Reigate stone) fragment from a monument, probably from an ecclesiastic or monastic context (AD13th – 14th century). The fragment is from the corner of a monument with two sides decorated with carved tracery. The two sides are set at approximately 120º forming a facetted surface.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval dagger pommel in the form of two outwardly facing busts. The lower aperture is ovoid and the upper sub-rectangular. The contours of both busts' facial features are moulded, but their eyes are represented by punched dots with mouth, nasal apertures and hair delineated by short V-sectioned grooves, each containing a line of rocker-arm engraving. The lower aperture passes through a similarly decorated collar. No close parallel has been found, but the busts are reminiscent of a type found on vessels such as those from Eye (illustrated in Suffolk Archaeology 41, (2006), fig.53 A),…

Object type: AMPULLA
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast lead pilgrim ampulla. There is some decoration in relief on the obverse, but this is too worn to be discerned. The object is largely complete, with angular handles between the base and the neck of the ampulla. The left handle is miscast and therefore not perforated. There are no signs of crimping at the top of the neck; it is possible that this ampulla was never used.
