A cast copper alloy medieval heraldic mount. This mount is shield shape in plan and flat in section. The reverse bears an integral shaft for attachment, that is now bent transversely. The front of the mount bears the remains of enamelled decoration, and the edges show gilding. The enamel is red, though may have suffered pigment degradation since deposition, and the overall form of the heraldic arms cannot be discerned. Elsewhere, the copper alloy surface of the mount is abraded and has an uneven patina. The object is 30mm long, 24mm wide, 3.5mm thick and weighs 15g. The integral shaft…

Object type: COIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete copper alloy coin of Philip IV of Spain (1621-65), revalidated to 8 maravedis. Probably issued 1624, although not certain as the date is situated to the right side of the shield on the reverse which is illegible due to corrosion. A similar, though smaller type was issued in 1625 and 1626. In the 1630s – 1650s period these coins were countermarked to revalidate them. The countermark usually consisted of a figure 8, or VIII in a small circle and sometimes a second mark, which gave the date. This coin has a letter B below the VIII, which would seem to indicate that …

A Neolithic – early Bronze Age flint or chert flake (3500-1500BC). This flake is a secondary removal from the core with approximately 10% cortex remaining. The flake has been damaged and there is some crushing around the edges and this damage is obscuring the signs of working or even any retouch.

A Prehistoric - Post Medieval rounded stone (Highland granite) object possibly a grinder or a smoother. The stone has been worked to form a globular shape with one surface slightly flattened, possibly through use. Jon Cotton and Geoff Egan suggest that it may be a grinder or have a use in the laundry process but it is a little small to be a linen smoother. It is impossible to assign a date with any degree of certainty. The stone could have been deliberately brought to London for manufacturing or it may have arrived in London as ballast and then be modified. Dimensions: diame…

A Post Medieval fragments of a leather shoe (late 18th – 19th century). The fragments include the vamp (front upper), two pieces of the sole, the cupping from the heel (U-shaped piece) and the inner sole. There is an iron rivet still present in the cupping. The shoe probably was a low-cut slip-on shoe possibly with a stacked heel. The heel and the back of the upper are missing as well as the rest of the sole. Based on the size the shoe was probably for a female or a youth. All the fragments are from the same shoe. The inner sole has wear depressions and there is an oval per…

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. Another side is covered in tool marks suggesting it abutted either a wall or another piece of stone. The final side is a rough broken surface.
