Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead Possible Spindle Whorl. Cast plano-convex whorl with central moulded and slightly tapered aperture of diameter 12.4mm, surrounded by a prominent ridge probably created at the time of casting. The plano-convex form agrees with Walton Rogers' Form A1, possibly derived from that of cattle femur head whorls, while the large aperture would indicate date later than the Middle Saxon period. The extent of patination, which is patchy and modest on the curved surface and absent from the flat surface, must introduce significant doubt as to dating of this object, unless recent disturbance fro…

Object type: GAMING PIECE
Broad period: MODERN
County: LINCOLNSHIRE
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead Game Piece or Counter. Cast discoid object. One side bears faint traces of a possibly figurative linear design moulded in relief. The other side bears the crisp impressions left by a small rouletting wheel. These describe an irregular shield shape with, possibly, the outline of a letter - perhaps an A - within it. Patinated overall. This reporter has usually observed rouletting marks on lead objects of modern date; the attempts to distinguish either one side from the other, or this object from similar objects, may hint at a use as a game piece.

Copper alloy and ?leather Harness Mount. Cast discoid concavo-convex mount or boss with an everted rim, an apical indented knop, and with an opposed pair of integrally cast prongs of length circa 8mm on the back.
