A silver Medieval "fede" type finger ring which is inscribed on the outside of the hoop. The inscription is difficult to read because of damage, but appears to read: "C' IL (M)RONE(WH)•IALEALA".

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Sheet copper alloy bell of medieval date, probably from horse harness. Conical bell with an elongated oval suspension loop with (now broken) aperture of length 2.5mm. The body of the bell was formed of beaten sheet metal of a thickness varying from 0.4mm to 1.3mm, rolled to form a cone with a butted seam up the reverse. The loop is pierced from side to side, and projects slightly to the front. Now squashed and distorted, there is no sign of a clapper, and there may not have been one; it is most likely that this bell originally had four lobes at the base that were bent in together to r…

Silver mount. Cast plate in the form of a cross potent, now roughly folded and flattened. The motif might be apt to the decoration of the cover of a missal, breviary or reliquary. A symbol resembling two conjoined lozenges is stamped into the bar at the end of one of the arms. When combined with smaller similar crosses in its angles, this symbol would become the Cross of Jerusalem, the badge of that Crusader kingdom - the military Orders held extensive lands in eastern England, though their local importance was primarily economic.

Copper alloy seal matrix. Cast hexagonal-section handle with apical suspension loop. A strongly defined device is incised in a circular die. This illustrates a contraction mark resembling a yoke, surmounted by a cross potent; the ends of the 'yoke' are trifid, probably representing lis. Below this is a central pellet, above the letters IhC (for Jesus Christ). Malcolm Jones kindly read the inscription, which is set between two grooves, as the common *PRIVE SV* (I am private). The egg-waisted form of the S indicates an early 14th-century date, 1300-1350. Diameter: 19.4mm, Height: 2…
