Object type: PENDANT

Description: A complete silver pendant in the form of a crucifix, dating from the medieval period (c.AD1400-1500).
The horizontal arms of the crucifix appear to terminate in crudely cast trefoils, whilst the lower terminal is completely obscured by the feet of the figure of Christ. The upper terminal is formed by an integral loop, with attached silver link. The figure of Christ, also integral to the crucifix, is again somewhat crude, with extended arms and over large hands. Incised grooves, marking the fingers of the left hand, are clearly visible; not so with the right hand, whi…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description: A gold finger ring with a small sub-oval bezel, dating to the medieval period (c.AD1150-1400). Whilst the ring and bezel are complete, the stone is missing.
The plain, tapering hoop is sub-circular and round in section but flattened slightly on the inside. The thicker shoulders of the hoop are soldered to the bezel. The latter is cup-shaped, with a flat base and sides that flare gently to a slightly unturned rim that would have held the stone setting in place.
The ring is slightly misshapen, with some pitting and a hairline crack running along one side of the hoop f…

Record ID: DUR-095A13
Object type: COIN
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete silver farthing of Edward III dating to the medieval period AD 1344-51. North Number: Third (Florin) Coinage, Type G 1135/1.
Obv: Crowned bust facing, probably bifolate crown - [ED]WARDVS REX AN
Rev: Long cross, three pellets in angles - CIVI TAS LON DON
NB: Somewhat tentative identification due to the addition of the 'AN' to the end of the obverse legend. Spink (p174) notes the 'An' for 1562B, but with the reverse featuring an escallop in one quarter (which this does not). The halfpenny of North 1134 also features the 'AN', but this coin appears to small for a hal…

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham

The metal is a brown colour and is worn. The spindle whorl is 25.83mm in diameter, 8.00mm thick, and weighs 23.8g. The perforation is 9.35mm in diameter.
