Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper alloy tanged and collared chisel dating from the Late Bronze Age, that is c. 1000-800BC. The chisel is in good condition, but very worn.

Early modern vessel lid, dating from the 19th/20th century. The lid is broken at what was probably the hinge. Size and decoration suggest it was the lid of possibly an inkwell or possibly a snuff box or lady's compact. It was decorated with five heart shaped mouldings which may have possibly been decorated with enamel, though none of the fill remains.
