Incomplete two-piece sheet silver thimble, missing its top which would have been soldered on. The thimble is stamped with a heart-shaped cartouche, with an eagle either side of it, and engraved with the owner’s initials ‘S D’. There is also a smaller cartouche above the heart, probably for the maker’s mark. The thimble is covered in circular indentations and has a ropework band around the base.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn fragment from a cast tin object seemingly depicting an anthropomorphic face. The 'eyes' are conjoining and heavily bordered. The 'nose' is triangular, while the 'mouth' is damaged. It is extremely difficult to accurately date such a fragment or to suggest an original context or use. The possibility exists that the face is more illusory than real. There are very slight traces on the reverse which hint at gilding.

The loop does not fully enclose. Consequently, there is a space between the end of the loop …
