Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy circular loop of uncertain date. The loop has know datable diagnostic features. It is possibly a strap loop and just possibly a very small finger ring, although the small diameter (external 18.43 mm, internal 13.4 mm) and relatively crude execution perhaps makes this less likely. The loop tapers from 4.56 mm in height to 3.55 mm, and from 3.26 mm thick to 2.6 mm. The outer surface is much abraded and corroded but the interior has a smooth dark green patina.

A rim fragment of Medieval/ Post-Medieval (1200-1800) copper alloy cooking vessel. The rim thickens slightly towards the tip. It expands slightly on the inner face and is flat on the outer face. The fragment measures 36.0mm in length, 47.3mm in width, 3.4mm thick and weighs 21.7 grams. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1800 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. While certain specialist cast copper …

Object type: PENCIL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A corroded cast lead rod, perhaps a pencil of medieval or post-medieval date. The object is a long, thin cylinder. It has a circular cross-section with one pointed tip; the other end has been flattened into a wedge shape with rounded corners. This latter has been twisted slightly in profile. This artefact is plain and is a grey/white colour with a heavy patina which covers all other surfaces. Similar pencils have been recorded on this database, e.g. NARC-88EE88, and can be seen illustrated in Egan (1998, 271; fig. 209).
