Object type: COIN
Broad period: BYZANTINE
County: South Tyneside
Workflow stage: Published
An imitation of a tetarteron of Alexios I (1081-1118), post-reform (1092) of the mint of Constantinople. Reference for the real issue (and not this imitation) can be found in Dumbarton Oaks Coins vol 4, no 33. Julian Baker of the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford) indicated that it was a good imitation, though the style was not quite right, and the coin itself is too round and not irregular enough to be an official issue of the era. That said, it is probably contemporary as these have very little collector's value, unless made as a tourist trinket in more recent centuries.

Record ID: NCL-AB80B7
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: South Tyneside
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy probable vessel mount of the late Medieval period.
The mount is sub-triangular in plan, with one edge contained moulded decoration the creates a softly serated edge of 3 lobes. A shank emerges from the narrow ed at an angle, but was broken. When complete, this shank may have looped around to form a suspension loop for a handle, such that the mount acted as a handle escutcheon.
A circular perforation with a diameter of 7.77mm (drilled from both sides) is in the centre of the mount, and this was probably how it was originally attached to a vessel.

The corners of the attachment end of the plate are rounded and there are two circular perforations, one in each corner. There is possible incised decoration at the attachment end of the plate.
