Record ID: HESH-8D8126
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified lead alloy artefact of probable medieval or post medieval date. This artefact is either the remnants of a composite pommel from a sword / dagger or a variant style of weight. From the shape and weight of the iron bar (which is similar to those seen on whittle tanged knives) and the uniform nature of the lead alloy element I would prefer the former.
The artefact is composite consisting of a lead alloy flattened sphere through which passes an iron square sectioned bar. The lead alloy element is broadly sub-rectangular in both plan and cross section. The upper and lower…

Record ID: SWYOR-8D6217
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast, copper alloy unidentified object. It is in the shape of an isosceles triangle in plan and is D shaped in section. At the wide end, it suddenly becomes thicker. The wide end is also an old break. The point is somewhat rounded, and the edges are not particularly straight, nor the faces flat. It is 36.5mm long, 15mm wide and 6.7mm thick. It weighs 8.5gm. Although having a superficial similarity to the tip of a spear, the roundedness of the edges and the sudden thickening does not make this possible. It could also be the end of a larger object such as a scabbard chape, with the ho…

Record ID: HESH-8A8CD1
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Heavily gilt cast copper alloy fragment of an unidentified / unknown artefact, of probable later medieval or post medieval date (1300 – 1650 AD). The fragment is an irregular crescent (C) shape with an irregular D shaped tapering cross section. Both edges of the artefact are broken and unabraded suggesting relatively recent damage in the ploughsoil. One broken edge is deliberately stepped. It is possible that the fragment may come from a very small finger ring, and the stepped edge is the central stone setting on an oval shaped bezel. If this assumption were correct the form of the…
