A cast copper alloy early medieval (Late Saxon) brooch. It is in the form of a bird, possibly a raven. The brooch is flat, and the bird is depicted in profile facing left, in the Urnes / Ringerike style with incised lines detailing the plumage on the wings and tail, and highlighting the eye and neck. The beak is upturned and the wing is depicted arched over the back. The foot extends into a triangle which may represent claws. There is no pin, catchplate or lug on the reverse.

A cast copper alloy leg fragment from a cooking vessel, probably a couldron or posnet of medieval to early post medieval date (c. 1200 - c. 1650) The leg has a trapezoidal cross section, it tapers slightly downward and terminates in an out-turned, pad-like foot. There is a thick green patina and some pitting. Butler, Green and Payne (FRG datasheet 41, 2009) observe that this form seems to have been in widespread use in the medieval period, but early 17th century examples are also known. Overall length 42.1 mm, width 23.7 mm, thickness 16.8 mm. Weight 83.3 g.

A cast lead object, probably a post medieval palm-guard. The object is plano-convex and semi-piriform in shape. The tip is bent upwards, probably this is recent damage as there is a gouge showing the metallic colour of the lead . The rest of the surface is dull dark grey or has a dusty buff patina. The shape of the object allows it to fit in the palm of the hand. Such a palm guard would have been used by leather workers to protect the hand when forcing pointed tools through heavy duty textile or leather, and there is a deep and apparently old (from the patina) scratch on the flat surf…

A fragment comprising the foot and part of the leg of a cast copper alloy couldron of probable post medieval date. The leg is formed from three conjoined ribs, with the cental rib being thicker. This creates a broadly triangular cross-section. The inner surface is concave and the leg terminates downward in a flared, paw-like foot separated from the leg by a collar. The base of the foot is concave. Buttler, Green and Payne, (FRG datasheet 41 2009) suggest a 16th - 17th century date for this form. Length 72.9 mm. Width 38 mm. Thickness 10.6 mm. Weight.187.9 g
