A Roman copper alloy trumpet derivative brooch, Alcester type, dating from the 1st or 2nd century. The brooch is in a fair condition with a green patina.

A copper-alloy probable vessel mount of Roman date. The mount is circular in plan and has a very slight curvature. On the upper surface a combination of curved low ridges surrounded by recessed panels combine to form a five-pointed star pattern with a ring at the centre. The recesses contain corroded enamel insets of uncertain colour. There is a small scar on the upper edge which was probably a suspension loop. The object has a dark green patina caused by iron staining. A parallel can be found at BH-F17DB7, where the recorder, Julian Watters, discusses the similarity to Early Med…

Object type: COSMETIC PESTLE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Published
A copper alloy Romano-British end-looped cosmetic pestle probably dating from 1 - 300 AD. This example appears to be unusual because the handle or loop is placed on the concave side of the curved rod forming the pestle, rather than at the end or on the convex side. In Jackson's Catalogue of Cosmetic Sets, only 1 in the 600 examples listed has this arrangement. The pestle is a curved and tapering rod of triangular section. It tapers to a point at one end, and extends into a sub-circular loop at the other end. The loop is of rounded triangular section, narrower than the working part …

A post medieval copper alloy coin. An Early post-Medieval Spanish Colonial copper-alloy coin, probably a four Maravedis and probably of Carlos and Joanna (1516-1556 ). It is very corroded, but one side appears to carry a design consisting of a V with concave sides, at the bottom of which is a pair of annulets. The other side has two broad, vertical lines terminating in lozenges at both ends, separated and flanked by what appear to be single pellets. There also appears to be a crown above. The central motifs are quite small in relation to the legend, which appears to have larg…
