County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified copper alloy artefact of unknown date, but probably Post Medieval. Though the object resembles a broken phallic pendant, it is not well enough made nor clearly enough modelled to be identfied as such. It consists of a sub-circular cross-sectioned shaft, tapering slightly to a globular terminal. There is no indication of any mounting point or suspension loop, nor any apparant breaks, but the object is quite corroded, which may be obscuring details. The artefact is undecorated and has a rough and patchy dark green patina. It is 23.5mm long and the widest part of the s…

A medieval silver coin: a heavily clipped voided long cross penny of Henry III (1216 - 72). Not enough of the coin remains to provide a positive id but, if the remaining reverse letters read GIL as they appear to, the mint will be Canterbury, struck by Gilbert. It is probably Class 2 or 3 judging from the position of the letters on the obverse and the solitary visible hair curl, and thus dates from AD 1248 - 1250. It is 12.2mm long, 5.9mm wide and 0.8mm thick. It weighs 0.31gm. See North number 985 - 988.
