Where the dark green patina survives on the outer and inner surface of the frame, there are also traces of matt black lacquer which was used to protect the surface of the copper alloy (Whitehead, 1996, 8). Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similarly small example on page 53, No.297, which is dated from c.1350-1650.

The handle is broken so that only the base remains which is recessed above a collar that is oblong in plan. The base is quite thin and rectangular in plan, but widens in profile, which suggests that it may have been an openwork trefoil handle like the examples below. This type of seal matrix with a flat oval face and a handle with a flattened trefoil that is made up of three perforated circles dates from the 16th to the 17th century (Bailey, 2000, 30, Fig.23). Similar examples recorded on the database have faces within the circle of the sun and openwork trefoil handles, such as (SUR-C7FDD6) found in Guildford, Surrey, (NMS-5661E8) found in Postwick, Norfolk, (BH-1492D3) found in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, and (YORYM-B35058) found in Copmanthorpe, North Yorkshire, and are all dated from the 17th century. -5.147015SW7526Cast sphericalISLE OF WIGHTBELLISLE OF WIGHT2012-06-01T17:07:41ZSOUTH EAST AND LONDON31.251600Copper alloyIOW2012-1-278.JPG383890Frank BasfordFrank Basford505850Isle of WightIOW-8F6DD34Restricted Access36.86images/fbasford/2012-06-01T18:03:00Z40.3111800POST MEDIEVAL50.653277 A complete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy spherical animal 'crotal' bell (1600-1800 AD).

The upper and lower hemispheres are divided equally by a horizontal circumferential joining rib. At either side of the suspension loop, about half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, is a circular sound hole. These measure about 3.50mm in diameter. In the lower hemisphere there are two larger sound holes integral with a sound slit. The corroded iron sound 'pea' is fused to the inside of the bell and can be seen through one of the lower holes. The upper hemisphere has a 'sunburst' design and the lower hemisphere has a 'fish-scale' design. At either side of the slit there is a maker's mark in the form of a heart.

The upper half is decorated with a petal sunburst/ray pattern and has two sound holes c. 4mm in diameter. Of similar proportions are the two sound holes on the lower hemisphere, close to the central casting seam. They are joined together by a slot and are perpendicular to those on the upper half. Either side of the slot the lower half is decorated with a 'sunburst' pattern formed of ten 'rays' which increase in width as they tend towards the centre of the hemisphere, and duly decrease in width as they tend towards the sound holes. Within one half of the 'sunburst' is a semicircle which bears an undecipherable shaped motif. The iron pea survives within the crotal. The suspension loop is high, rectangular, with a 3mm suspension hole. It has some signs of damage on the upper surface and also to one side of the lower sound bar slit.

The handle was originally L-shaped and has a break close to the bend. The handle is oval in cross-section throughout it length with a small amount of the vessel rim remaining at the complete end where it is attached immediately below the rim. The fragment is corroded and has a drab green patina with small areas of sooting. The breaks are old. This 'L'-shaped cauldron lug is similar to one illustrated in Butler et. al. (2009, 5; ref. 3a). Compare with finds: HAMP-11E993 ; NCL-741653 ; SOM-1DEA04 and SOM-BB7217. Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001: 52).

Some are marked with possible designs - although some or all maybe marked happenstance or serve no identifiable purpose.

The weight is sub-triangular (triangular with rounded corners - shield shaped) in plan, and sub-rectangular in profile. The weight is also sub-rectangular in cross section. The front face has bevelled edges and a much deteriorated / eroded central cast design which is unclear possibly consisting of diagonal bands .The reverse of the weight is flat with no decoration or fittings present. The weight is a mid grey colour with an eroded white / cream patina which is present in some places. The abrasion has made the weight asymmetrical. The weight may be unofficial as it does not reflect a known weight (being just over 2 1/4 oz.). It may be copying official shield shaped weights that often bear the Arms of England. The weight measures 63.1mm in length, 55.2mm width, is 12.3mm thick and weighs 64.12 grams (2.26 ozs or 989.6 grains). -2.994793Henry III of EnglandPennyLANCASTERCOINLANCASHIRE2012-06-01T15:41:55ZNORTH WEST181258SilverCanterbury12LVMDDW8E2C28.jpg383860Dot BoughtonDot Boughtoncrowned bust facing, sceptre left505844Yealand ConyersLANCUM-8E2C284Restricted Access1.32Long cross class 5g (N 997)images/dboughton/2012-06-01T15:50:00ZEnglish coin short and long cross period 1180 - 1278ROBERT ON CANT11265MEDIEVAL54.15926voided long cross dividing legend with pellets in angles0.5 Medieval silver hammered voided long cross penny of Henry III dating from c.

The head of the brooch is complete, being broadly sub-triangular (D shaped) in plan with a slight stepped profile. The reverse face has a distinct shallow concave recess. On the reverse and on the sides of the upper bow edge are two conjoined D shaped lugs which are pierced and hold the axis bar and spring. The axis bar and spring is formed from a length of iron wire and is poorly preserved, remnants of the axis bar are present in the pierced lugs, fragments of the spring are concreted to the head of the brooch. The external chord of the spring is attached to a forward facing hook. This hook is broken, but it is possible that part of it extended upwards creating a small head plate / head loop that is now lost. The bow is very angular it extends at 90 degrees from the head of the brooch and then descends from the mid-point bend at a sharp angle. Just below the mid-point is a drilled hole positioned at the centre (diameter 1.9mm). This would have taken an additional stud, possibly enamelled or of a different metal. The bow is D shaped but very angular. The sides are slightly faceted. There is little evidence of decoration present; the upper bow is decorated by two vertical panels bordered by rows of small dots and separated by a central vertical rib. The lower bow is faceted - possibly decorated with a cast interlock annulet pattern , however this is difficult to see due to patina corrosion and surface waxing (by finder). The catchplate is formed from a slight rib on the lower edge of the bow, a small fragment survives. The foot is pointed but abraded and all detailing is lost. The brooch is a mid brown colour with an uneven abraded patina. This abrasion is probably caused by movement in the plough soil and has resulted in damage around the extremities of the brooch. The surface of the brooch has been waxed by the finder. The brooch measures 32.8mm length, 12.5mm width across head, 7.6mm across bow and 4.4mm thick at the same point; it weighs 6.38 grams. -2.994793Edward II of EnglandPennyLANCASTERCOINLANCASHIRE2012-06-01T15:29:13ZNORTH WEST181309SilverCanterbury10LVMDDW8DFC91.jpg383857Dot BoughtonDot BoughtonCrowned bust facing505842Yealand ConyersLANCUM-8DFC914Restricted Access1.11Edwardian class 10cf5 (N 1043/1)images/dboughton/2012-06-01T15:39:00ZEnglish coin Edwardian type 1279 - 1377CIVITAS CANCOR11310MEDIEVAL54.15926long cross dividing legend0.1 Medieval silver hammered penny of Edward II dating from c.
