Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval or post medieval date (1300 - 1700). The weight is sub-circular in plan and sub-triangular (conical) in cross section. Through the centre of the weight is a vertical hole which is circular (4.4mm) at the base . This hole may have had a wire or cord passing through it to aid safe-keeping and storage. The weight is undecorated although the sides are heavily worn and partially faceted. It is a mid grey colour with an even patina that covers all surfaces. This patinated surface has been marked and abraded in the soil. The weight measu…

County: Derbyshire

A copper alloy post-medieval trade token. The token is in the form of a copper alloy disc, 28 mm in diameter, stamped on one face with the letters JOSEPH / BROWN / BOLSOVER / 1786. The reverse has some scratches and the letters JOSE. The letters seem to have been stamped individually; they are imperfectly aligned. As the disc is corroded and abraded, it is not possible to determine if this is a pre-existing coin which has been over-stamped. However, the diameter, thickness and weight are similar to a half penny of George II. Diameter 28 mm, thickness 1.3 mm, weight 6.4 g

A cast lead probable palm guard or pad, of post-medieval date (c 1600 - 1900 AD). The object is a disc with a 6 mm wide flattened circumference. One surface is slightly domed with an outer bevel which slopes towards the circumference, the other has a shallow central depression or dimple approximately 15 mm in diameter. Both surfaces have dents and scratches, but the dimpled side in particular has deep scratches and gouges consistent with the object's use by leather-workers to provide protection when forcing needles through tough materials. Bailey (1994, p 64) suggests the dimple wo…

A probably late early-medieval / early medieval (c.1000-1200) copper-alloy zoomorphic strap fitting, consisting of two joining components. One component consists of a circular-sectioned bar (5.9mm diameter) with a rectangular frame at its outer end and, at the opposite end, where its underside is flattened, a moulded zoomorphic head above a circular-sectioned 'sleeve'. The second component, another bar (5,3mm diameter and now slightly bent), has been threaded through this sleeve. The two pieces are able to slide freely, allowing the fitting to be extended or shortened as circumstance…
