An incomplete fired clay figurine of probable 18th or 19th century date. It has been suggested that the character portreyed here is possibly Struwwelpeter (Shaggy Peter), who first appeared in an 1845 children's book by Heinrich Hoffmann. The figure depicted is that of a young male, who has sholder-length wavy hair, and wears a spotted waistcoat and a cravat. The left arm is angled at ninety degrees from the elbow, held across the body. To the left of the hand are four scratch marks, suggesting that the figure has scratched himself with his fingernails. The damaged chin also bears p…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date. This artefact would appear to be a la Tène III type brooch, which is of suggested mid 1st century BC to late 1st century AD date (see Hattatt, 1982, p. 57). The brooch has been made in one piece, from a strip of copper-alloy. The widest point of the bow is about one third of the way down. From here, the sides taper gradually to the point where the brooch is broken, just above the foot. The width of the brooch also tapers upwards, towards the head. This latter element has been formed by bending the copper-alloy …

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy buckle chape of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1690 – c. AD 1720). Length: 38.6mm; width: 44.6mm and 5.1mm thick. Weight: 11.91g. In plan, the chape frame has a ‘cooking pot’ shape and has a single internal spike. It has separate spindle to hold the pin. The copper alloy pin is largely missing due to an old transverse break. However, the pin loop remains intact and fully encircles the copper alloy spindle. On the underside of the chape frame, at the inside edge, there is a maker’s mark in Roman capitals: DRAFFETT. There is a patchy dark green patina in plac…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked flint artefact which is probably a chipped axe or adze of late Mesolithic to early Neolithic date. A parallel for this piece was found at Glenarm, Antrim, and was dated to the 6th millenium to 4th millenium BC (Megaw & Simpson, 1979). The implement is unusual in that it is curved towards the narrow end. It seems unlikely, however, that this feature would have affected the performance of the tool, since the back of the axe would have not been used for chopping. The tool is roughly drop-shaped in plan, with slightly convex long sides and a rounded blade. It is thickest toward…

Object type: MIRROR CASE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy lid from a medieval cased mirror. Three very similar lids were found in excavations in London (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p. 361-2, nos. 1714, 1715 and 1716). The dating of the London examples suggests that this robust form of mirror case was probably introduced in the late 14th century (p. 365). The lid takes the form of a cast circular disc with a rim which angles vertically downwards from the upper surface, creating a recessed underside. Protruding from the edges of the case, set opposite each other, are a single pierced lug, and a pair of lugs (one damaged) with …
