An incomplete cast copper alloy object, possibly a pastry jigger, but more likely to be a leather stamping tool of post medieval date. The object has a thick and strong rectangular section bar or stem, one end of which has an expanded semi-circular collar-like terminal, the outer edge of which has a soft zig-zag like pattern cast in to it; once stamped the pattern would give a crimped effect. At the opposing end of the bar is a slight flare in the thickness and width, and one face has the letters R R stamped onto it; possibly the maker or even the owner. The bar then narrows slightly …

Object type: LEATHER STAMP
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy tool; a stamp or punch for impressing designs into leather. The tool is tanged and is missing its wooden handle. There is a thickened area in the centre, then the shaft tapers in the centre before flaring to the punch face. The design is worn and no longer clear, but it may represent a crowned rose. The leather stamp catalogued in Egan's The Age of Transition is a different design, perhaps suggesting that this is earlier. Medieval leather knife sheaths and scabbards from the late 13th century onwards are decorated with many small punched designs (see Medieval Knives). A…

Object type: LEATHER STAMP
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Leather stamp with tapering square-sectioned tang, round shoulder plate and a square shank ending in a square or rectangular die-plate. This is incomplete and probably affected by fire. What remains of the device is not interpretable. If the shank is set centrally on the reverse then the die would have been 22mm across in at least one direction. At present it is 16.5 x 13mm. The length measures 59mm (tang only 25mm). Diameter of the shoulder plate is 15mm and the width of shank 7 - 7.5mm. Probably 16th or 17th century.

The tool has a hexagonal cross sectioned shaft which tapers to a collar, and continues tapering to a blunt point. The opposite terminal the cross-section gradually becomes rectangular. On the base of this terminal is a design similar to an ear of corn or a branch.
