County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete small cast copper-alloy object, thought to be the stem and terminal of tongs used for sugar or similar foodstuffs, of post-medieval date (c.1600-1900). The terminal is broadly semicircular in plan with a gradual curve towards the stem of the handle and has a shallow circular dishing within the bowl's upper surface. The stem is twisted to give a rope effect; it is sub-circular in cross-section. The object has a dark grey patina consistent with a probable post-medieval date. For similar items see KENT-41E304 and SUR-748FF3.

A damaged and incomplete Late Iron Age/Early Roman cast copper-alloy strip bow brooch. The brooch is broadly triangular in form. The head is the widest point (11.2mm) and features a central removal (pin slot) and slight protrusion on one side; it is broken on the other. Below this the brooch is 9.0mm wide and tapers gradually down the length of the brooch to less than 3mm at the catch-plate end. The head is not curled round; it is uncertain as to whether the brooch has suffered flattening or a loss here. The bow is bent downwards on one side and generally lacks the arching of bow broo…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A circular domed convex object cast in copper alloy of probable post-medieval date. The artefact has a globular knop at its summit. From this emanate five curved ridges delineated by grooves emulating a star pattern. There is a groove around the circumference of the upper surface at the base. At one point on the circumference of the base is a vestigial rectangular protrusion suggesting that this object would have once been part of a larger item. The piece has corroded to a dusty light/mid-green colour.

A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy probable harness pendant suspension mount of medieval date (c. 14th century).
