An incomplete miniature copper alloy plate brooch dating to the Roman period, AD 70-150.

Copper-alloy eagle and hare plate brooch of Roman date (c. 50 - 150 AD). The brooch takes the form of an eagle standing behind a hare, pinioning it down with its talons and rending at its head with its beak. The eyes of both beasts are represented by circular depressions and details such as the wing of the eagle and the hare's ear are rendered by subtle grooves; all in all, the design is elegantly executed. The bodies of both beasts are rounded on the outer face and convex on the back face. A rectangular catchplate extends from the back of the hare and a hinge lug extends from the bac…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Blackburn with Darwen
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead weight of medieval or post-medieval date (c. 1300 - 1700 AD). The weight has been formed by pressing a coin into the surface of a circular disc of lead. Unfortunately, the impression is shallow and the surface of the object is worn, which means that the coin cannot be identified with any certainty. The size and indication of gothic lettering suggests that the coin will have been of late medieval to post-medieval date. The object has a white patina. It is 35.07mm in diameter and 8.06mm in thickness. The diameter of the coin is 28.15mm. The object weighs 61.24g.

A medieval, copper-alloy mount. Description: The mount comprises a cast copper-alloy, rectangular bar, D-shaped in section, attached along the upper edge of the front of a sheet copper-alloy plate by a central copper-alloy rivet.
