Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White metal ingot. A short cylindrical object with rounded ends and hammered overall. The metal is bright and dense. Similar objects have been submitted to the Treasure process in the past as potential silver ingots, though they have frequently been considered of recent date by early medieval period specialists based at the British Museum, either with or without the identification of the material by laboratory investigation. The mass of the object does not coincide closely with that of a series of weights – derived from the Scandinavian ora/ore - considered to have governed Vikin…

Unidentified object fragment. A small shard from a flat thin [1mm] plate which is broken on all sides and bears a figurative inscribed scene on one flat face. This depicts the head of a creature, perhaps a fish or serpent with a rather human-looking eye and expression, with flames or other issue from its elongated snout. This might represent some entirely different subject in this form, for example a constellation. A border interrupted by a triangular-topped feature appears below the image and indeterminate elements of the wider composition appear above. Suggested date: Late Medie…

Copper alloy strap fitting.

Gold possible coin. A small plano-convex disc, thickest on one side, featureless and worn on its convex side but retaining part of an image on the flat side, which looks like a small seated figure with right hand raised. Andrew Brown kindly comments that the object should probably be regarded as a late Iron Age quarter stater, issue of Haselgrove Period 2 phase 4 or later, 80BC-20BC. A parallel for this 'modified droplet' form is not offered by Rudd et al. for the Corieltauvi, and it does not resemble the 'Lindsey scyphate' varieties of quarter stater. Suggested d…

Lead alloy button copy. Cast plano-convex uniform button front bearing a Crown Imperial above a bugle with the number 20 between these features, and with a now-crescentic basal legend which probably extended round the button retaining the letters [--]TEERS [--]. This would seem to be the relict of the word Volunteers. There is no trace of a loop or its loss on a featureless smooth back. This is probably a casting taken from a 19th-century military uniform button. What is described above may suggest this to be from the periods of recruitment of volunteer or yeomanry regiments to defend …
