An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. It is missing one end but appears to have been lozengiform in shape. It is decorated on the front with two small raised concentric circles from which project four points each connected to the tops of a heart each pointing to one of the four corners of the artefact. There is also a ridge running along the edge of the artefact. The reverse is flat, except for the intact end of the tag where there is a rectangular protrusion projecting at a forty-five degree angle away from the artefact. The artefact does not appear to be …

Object type: FIGURINE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A fragment of a solid lead object, possibly a figurine, of uncertain date. It is in the form of a left forearm and hand grasping a vertical cylindrical object. The arm appears to have broken off the rest of the object at the elbow. The cylinder appears to have perforation all the way from top to bottom, though this is filled with earth, suggesting that a long pole was originally held here (perhaps a spear or standard). The cylindrical object perhaps enabled the figurine to hold a spear without the the figures of the hand breaking. Overall the object measures 40.95mm long, 13.15mm w…

County: Wiltshire

A fragment of a glass bead of uncertain date (probably Roman to Post Medieval). The fragment is approximately a quarter of the circumference of the bead, measuring 21.05mm in length, 19.20mm in width and 19.10mm in thickness. Based on these measurements it seems likely that the complete bead would have measured c.42.10mm in diameter. It weighs 6.78g. The bead is formed from semi-transparent pale blue glass, inlaid with a looping pattern of dark blue opaque glass. The lines of decoration are divided into small sections by transverse lines of pale opaque glass.

Object type: INTAGLIO
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy oval intaglio containing opaque red glass/enamel. The enamel is partly missing, and the motif only partially survives. Based on other examples the motif possibly represents a human bust. The shoulders and part of the neck are visible. The underside of the plate is slightly hollowed. There is no evidence of any breaks on the rear edges of the intaglio, which suggests it was soldered to the object it was mounted on, though no trace of the solder remains. This intaglio may be Roman but may also be Modern, possibly from a 19th century fob seal. It measures…
