Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MODERN
County: LINCOLNSHIRE
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy fragment from a 'fob' seal of late Georgian or Victorian date (1750-1850). All that survives is the abraded die element which is enclosed within a hoop of copper alloy. The die is formed of a ceramic paste which has decayed in the soil. The reverse of the die is filled with a ceramic adhesive or fine grained cement. The die is abraded and so some detail is lost; the best suggestion of the device is a plumed shield on which is emblazoned a rampant lion. It is possible that the plumed feathers device could alternatively be interpreted as a debased crown. The design is …

Late Bronze Age gold pendant: one end of a slightly bent round-sectioned shank has been hammered into a D-sectioned loop, while the other expands into a conical terminal on which another object may have swivelled.

A copper alloy punch or die dating from the Post-medieval period, most likely to the Georgian period (AD 1714-1837). The punch has a lozenge-shaped stem, divided in the middle by a sub-circular collar, from which the upper part of the stem was presumably a tang fitting into a wooden or bone handle. The punch head itself is semicircular in plan with partially crenelated edges; the design on the punch consists of a bird with a large, slightly curved beak (like a flamingo's), sitting within tree branches that are depicted by scrolled tendrils. The bird is looking back over its shoulder. …

Copper alloy Plaque. Cast concavo-convex shield-shaped plate bearing numerous punched holes of diameter circa 1mm on its convex face. The finder kindly notes these spell out HOME / SWEET / HOME over three lines. This phrase was first popularised as the title of a sentimental ballad written by John Howard Payne in 1823; then as a soldiers' song in the American Civil War; and as a text for children's needlework samplers - most of the letters may be rendered in straight lines. It was perhaps the latter source this object draws upon. The concave face may suggest attachment to a mug or b…
