Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Small silver hemispherical element, shank or attachment loop missing. The function of this object is not clear. It has been described as a button fragment, which seems plausible, though the form is unusual for post-medieval buttons of the 16th and early 17th Century reported through the Treasure Act to date. Probably 16th Century.

Silver finial in the form of a pine cone, broken off at the base, where it would have joined onto another element. It has been suggested that this may be a knop from a spoon. If this is so, the best comparison known to me is a spoon with enamelled bowl in the British Museum, P&E 1899, 12-9,3, inscribed AVE MARIA, which has been dated to the late 15th Century. The knop on this spoon is more rounded in form and is engraved with rings of regular lines rather than with the much cruder hatching seen on this object. However this object may not be a knop but may have served as some other kin…
