Object type: AMPULLA
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead pilgrim's ampulla dating to the Medieval period. It is sub-circular in shape at the bottom and tapers to the neck which is now broken and bent over onto the obverse. It is cream/white in colour and is decorated with a scallop-shell design on the reverse. The obverse appears plain and undecorated but is badly worn. The presence of the scallop-shell design on the reverse of the ampulla signifies pilgrimage itself and the obverse would have originally been decorated with symbols or lettering to attribute the ampulla to a specific place. A similar example of an almost c…

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete silver seal matrix. The matrix has an ovoid face, from the back of which extends the integral ovoid stem which forms the base of the handle. The stem expands forming a rectangular collar. A triangular knop extends from the collar, indicating that the handle was originally openwork, now lost to an old break. The design on the face shows a tree, or a plant with flowers, with an interlacing root system.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object consists of an oval sectioned bar of copper alloy which has been twisted round to form an oval loop at one end which has been flattened. At the opposite end the object curves to one side (transverse to the loop) terminating with an ancient flattened break. The terminal of the object is split at the upper face 13.62mm from the end. It is uncertain whether or not the split is deliberate as it is very neat. Possible functions for the object include a buckle or a brooch pin however for it to function properly the loo…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An almost complete, lead alloy loom weight or spindle whorl of an uncertain date but probably Medieval-Post Medieval (AD 1300-1800). It is circular in plan, although slightly broken on one side and is sub-rectangular in section. It has a circular perforation which is slightly off centre and measures 9mm in diameter. The surface on both sides is undecorated and cream/grey in colour. Objects of this type are dated from the Roman to the Medieval periods and change very little due to their functional nature. Decorated examples are easier to date to the Medieval to Post Medieval periods wh…

A cast copper alloy mount of Medieval or Post-Medieval date. The object comprises a rectangular plate from which a narrower rectangular strip projects downwards, bending back behind the plate where it expands before terminating with a point, creating a lozenge shape. A copper alloy rivet, integrally cast to the reverse of the front plate runs through a hole in this terminal and would have held the fitting to the strap. The rivet has a rectangular head measuring 5.59mm in length and 4.86mm in width. The object has a dark green patina in places and is undecorated. It is likely that a pe…
