An incomplete, copper alloy anthropomorphic mount, likely a vessel mount of Medieval to post Medieval date (c. AD 1450-1750). The mount is cast with moulded decoration in the form of a man's face with a large, sweeping moustache and beard. The face has small, circular eyes and ridged brows. The nose has flaired nostrils and the mouth is a lined groove. No head hair is visible. It is broadly oval in form and the reverse is concave. The edges around the object are jagged, which would suggest that it was part of a larger object. There are similar objects on the P…

A body sherd of a ceramic vessel, likely Roman in date. The sherd is roughly trapezoidal in shape. It starts at 6.64mm near the top and tapers to 5.56mm near the break at the bottom whilst curving gently inward, suggesting that it was potentially from nearer the top of the vessel. The core is grey in colour whilst the margins and surfaces are pale orange. The fabric has a fine texture and contains sparse inclusions of what appears to be mica.

An incomplete, copper alloy knife end cap of post Medieval date (AD 1500-1600). The object is likely to be from a scale-tang knife in the form of a possible fleur-de-lis.

The base has a sub oval cross-section and appears to retain a section of the iron from the tang of the iron knife blade. There are similar objects recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, including SOM-35A4FE and YORYM-42098E.

Two fragments of a Medieval silver cut halfpenny from the reign of Henry III (AD 1216-1272). The coin is possibly Class 5d due to the shape of the crown and beard, thus dating AD 1251-1272. See North (1994) Volume 1 pg 227 no 994. The coin had previously been clipped since nothing remains of the inscriptions. The remnants uncovered have rough, jagged edges and are not quite aligned with the cross on the back, which would suggest that these two fragments were broken apart rather than being cut. They were found one metre apart from one another. Larger fragment dimensions.…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, copper alloy (bronze) spearhead, likely from the Middle Bronze Age (1450-1150 BC). There is a central rib running along the blade with a high profile and a lozenge shaped cross section that tapers towards the tip of the spear, which would mean that the fragment is likely from a Middle Bronze Age looped and socketed spearhead, similar to HESH-8E7894.

A copper alloy pin from a Medieval annular buckle. The pin has a sub-rectangular cross section. There is a collar with three oblique ridges at the junction with the loop, though it is heavily worn.
