A silver-gilt lozenge shaped fragment of medieval date. It is not possible to say with certainty exactly what this object is or where it came from. The fragment is broken at one end of the length of the lozenge. Both faces and each side of the fragment are gilded. The faces are decorated with a metalworking technique called pointillé and show a quatrefoil petal in the centre with small flourishes surrounding the flower. This technique was popular in Northern Europe - particularly England and France - in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century.

Lead weight. Cast heater shield shaped weight with the cast relief motif of three leopards left on a raised central panel. The panel is surrounded by a lower pelleted border with a low external ridge. Patinated overall, and scratched on front in antiquity - i.e. below the patina. As the finder kindly observes, the mass indicates this is likely to represent one half an averdepois pound. A moulded rectangular hole at the top of the raised panel was probably made using a nail as a former, and may have been intended to permit the use of this object as a steelyard poise. The 'three lions' …
