Object type: WINGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete late Bronze Age copper-alloy end-winged axe. Sub-rectangular in plan with butt, side loop folded wings and crescentic cutting edge. The butt end and most of the wings are missing. The damaged butt end is 25.34mm wide and 20.14mm thick. Casting seams are faintly visible along the centre of each side. The small surviving sections of the wings suggest that both are C-shaped in cross-section with their ends turned inwards. The lower face and blade flare outwards before reaching a narrow crescentic cutting edge which is very abraded. The blade is 37.95mm wide an…

Object type: WINDOW GLASS
Broad period: MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large fragment of Medieval painted window glass. It is roughly circular in form and has figural decoration depicting a face, probably of an angel or perhaps a saint. The glass is clear with many small air pockets and a slightly rough texture particularly on the back face and probably as a result of the method of manufacture. At the top of the sherd there is a short and smooth complete rounded edge, the curved form of the edges to either side deliberately worked to give the fragment its shape. The lower edges of the glass terminate in old breaks. The fragment measures 108.67mm in wid…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two fragments of probably late medieval or early post-medieval stained window glass. The glass appears to have been clear originally, but is highly corroded with a flaking surface. The reverse is particularly pitted, which may have occured due to exposure to the elements whilst still positioned in the window frame. Traces of painted geometric decoration can be seen on the inner faces of both fragments. Although this is now a reddish colour, when originally applied it was probably a black vitreous paint that would then have been fired. On the larger fragment this decoration consists of…

Object type: WINDOW GLASS
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small fragment of glass, possibly window glass. The fragment is roughly triangular in form, pale blue/green in colour, containing some air bubbles and with one surface coarser/rougher than the other. The longest (upper?) edge of the fragment is complete and at one end it begins to curve slightly before terminating in old breaks. It measures 14.65mm in length, 26.13mm in width, 1.56mm in thickness, and 0.91g in weight. This is a possible fragment of window glass or similar. Its find spot might indicate a Roman date, although a later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.

Two fragments of Roman window glass. Cast window glass was probably produced by pouring molten glass into trays resulting in relatively thick panes with a characteristic flat, rough underside, a glossy, slightly undulating upper surface, frequently with tooling marks and a rounded edge (Boon 1966). Most cast window glass is blue/green, as are these examples, but pale green, greenish colourless and colourless fragments are also known. 1: roughly triangular shaped fragment, 22.93mm by 12.16mm in size, 2.23mm in thickness, 1.12g in weight. 2: Roughly rectangular fragment, 11.02…

Possibly a post medieval or modern (1700-1900AD) cast pewter whistle. The artefact is is tubular with an oval cross section. The internal space divided in two; the main tube is circular, with an internal diameter of 9.22mm, with the upper tube being sub-triangular, measuring 4.88mm wide, 2.56mm high. This upper tube is now filled with soil. It tapers slightly towards one end (possibly the mouth piece), which has a worn break across it. There is a small integrally cast suspension loop on the upper surface measuring 7.25mm wide, 4.99mm thick with an internal diameter of 2.94mm. The surf…

A 16th century silver huntman's whistle, now full of soil and incomplete and damaged at the mouth piece end. This whistle is cut from silver sheet and soldered; it is cylindrical and increases in diameter from the mouth-piece to the open end. Two wire collars divide the whistle into three sections; the upper section has a mouth-piece with a damaged sound hole. The central section is decorated with diagonal ribs. The lower section is undecorated but its circular end has an applied rim of filigree wire. There is a damaged suspension loop on the underside of the whistle.

This is a small lead figurine of a cockerel standing 36mm high, cast in the round from a two-piece mould. Its tail is typically displayed, and from its lower hind quarters there proceeds a hollow tube of lead which is circular or ovate in section. The cockerel's feet stand on a rounded base, part of which is broken away to reveal that the whole casting is hollow, and was perhaps once stoppered below the base. The pipe or tube described above is half-round hollow (in the upper half) but filled with lead in the lower or under part of the tube. The cockerel's body surface is covered with …

An incomplete cast lead-alloy whistle of uncertain date. It is rectangular in form, square in cross-section and hollow, missing part of the mouthpiece due to old breaks. At the end of the whistle is a separately cast circular end plate that tapers at its centre to a conical suspension loop. This has a circular terminal that is biconical in cross-section and has a central circular perforation. One side of the end cap, at the underside of the whistle, has some post-depositional damage. All of the exterior surfaces of the body of the whistle have moulded decoration. On the two sides this…

An incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy whistle dating to circa AD 1700-1900. The whistle is cylindrical with a bottleneck terminal with flat-topped knop or lug which would likely have been utilised in suspension. The body of the whilst is circular sectioned and hollow. It terminates in a worn and jagged break but would have contained two opposed circular perforations or rectangular slot on one side from which compressed air could escape creating the pitch. Similar examples can be seen recorded under SWYOR-FE25B1 and DYFED-639E1C Diameter: 16.7mm; Height; 51.1m; Weight: 14.22g.

A complete lead alloy post-medieval or modern whistle. It is cylindrical in shape with a wider flat disc attached to the outer end and a rounded raised collar around the centre. One side of the inner end curves inwards and has a separate section attached across it to create a mouthpiece. It survives in good condition, but where the surface of the metal has been scratched a silvery surface has been revealled. Small pewter whistles like this one are common finds and may have had a variety of functions, although they are often referred to as 'hawking whistles' because some were no dou…

A sheet copper-alloy whistle of probable Post-Medieval date. It is formed from a single sheet of copper-alloy folded to give the whistle a tubular form that has been partially flattened due to post-depositional damage. The mouthpiece is flattened on its base to produce a D-shaped aperture with D-shaped sound hole on the upper surface of the whistle above. On the upper surface of the mouthpiece there is incised decoration comprising a single transverse grooved border from which multiple longitudinal grooves run to the sound hole. The main body of the whistle has additional incised deco…

A slender, tubular cast copper-alloy fragment, possibly from a whistle. It was cast in two halves, as the joining line can be easily seen, and its interior is hollow. There are traces of red pigment on the exterior surfaces, so it is probable that it had been painted. It therefore has patches of dark brown-red, where the paint has survived, and patches of a dark grey-green patina, common to copper-alloy objects. It was possibly used as a hawking whistle. Its remaining length is 32mm, with a diameter of 4mm, and a weight of 2.97g. At one end, it has been pressed and closed, into …
