A complete heraldic mount provisionally dated to the early modern period 1650-1850. The mount is formed in two parts: the back plate is a very poor cast copper alloy amalgam which contains a considerable amount of lead alloy (evident in the grey corrosion product and typified by flakey laminated corrosion). The front plate is formed from a heavily incised and relatively thick silver sheet. The sheet has been fixed to the back plate by a combination of crimping and probably solder. The overall design on the front face is that of a gated tower or turret, the base of which sits on a twist…

Cast copper alloy signet ring dated to the very late post medieval / early modern period c. 1750 - 1850 AD. The ring is complete having a wide central bezel with a shield shaped design on it. This shield is engraved and the detail is difficult to interpret. One possibility is that it is of a bust facing right (left in impression) wearing a ruff with a pointed beard and possibly long hair or a pony tail, this could be interpreted as either Shakespeare or Walter Raleigh. If this interpretation is incorrect then the design may be a debased coat of arms. The hoop of the finger ring is dec…
