Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
A sheet copper alloy strap end of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The rectangular strap end measures 27.3mm by 22.6mm by 3.8mm and weighs 2.89g. It has been formed from a folded sheet, which is decorated on one side with stamped motifs (some are arguably conjoined). These are in the form of a line of cording, along the seam, and two lines of beading, which flank a blackletter 'legend'. This appears to comprise solely minims.

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy wire finger ring of probable post medieval date. The hoop, which measures 28mm in diameter, is made from four strands of wire which are woven together. A rectangular 'bezel', 19.7mm by 8.4mm, has been formed from two strands of wire twisted together and in the centre of this there is a separately cast setting for a stone or glass. This is square with eight petals surrounding it, two on each side. Geoff Egan has suggested an 18th century date. Simple wire accessories of this type are difficult to date accurately without a context.

Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy angel (ten shillings) coin weight from the reign of Charles I. The circular coin weight has a diameter of 17.6mm, a thickness of 2.4mm and weighs 3.76g. Its original weight would have been 4.2g (Withers and Withers 1995, p. 14). On the obverse there is a crown with X, for ten, and s for shillings beneath. On the reverse is a depiction of an angel. The coin weight must date from between the start of the reign of Charles I in 1625 and 1642, when the angel denomination ceased to be issued (Withers and Withers 1995, p. 68).
