Copper alloy figurine. Cast naturalistically modelled seated figure, possibly representing a child and if so, perhaps at c.54mm scale. The figure is seated upright with arms alongside the body and bent at the elbows, the figure’s right arm is now further from the body than the left. At first sight the figure appears naked; however, the genitalia and rump have escaped portrayal if this is the case, and there is the suspicion of short tunic sleeves in the area of the upper arms. The eye of faith might also discern the neckline of a tunic below the face. The short legs are lightly…

An unusual copper alloy brooch which has been modified with the addition of a silver collar.

A hammered silver penny of Edward IV of ‘anonymous issue’. Obverse: Crown within tressure of arches. Reverse: Long cross with three pellets in each quadrant. Legend reads: ‘CIVI/TAS / DVB/LIN’. The coin appears to be an Irish penny of Edward IV, known as the anonymous issue, because of the lack of name on the obverse.
