Object type: WIRE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A fragment of twisted gold wire of uncertain date and function, most likely part of an earring or other item of jewellery. The wire originally had a square cross section and has been twisted along most of its length and bent into an S-shape. There is a short section of around 10mm on the outside of the larger bend which appears not to have been twisted; this may be an original feature relating to the function of the object, perhaps suggestive of a suspension loop.

A metal whistle in the form of a tobacco pipe, made of some form of pewter or lead-based alloy - probably the same material as was used to make cast metal soldiers and cars. The bowl is decorated with a band of loops each containing a pellet. Recent research shows that these apparent metal tobacco pipes were in fact toy whistles, probably of German origin and dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The stem and a cover for the pipe were both of iron and thus have not survived in the ground. See David Higgins, Metal Pipes and Whistles, Society for Clay Pipe Research …
