Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A bone spindle whorl. A domed spindle whorl with a central drilled hole (diameter 100 mm). The spindle whorl has been made from a femural or humeral head (the ball joint of an upper limb bone) from an animal. The dome shape is the natural shape of the bone. The base is flat. It is in complete condition, with a few small nicks here and there but not much sign of wear. The diameter of the spindle whorl is 37mm, and it weighs 12.19g. Bone spindle whorls are found on Roman, Early Medieval, and medieval sites, and therefore dating this particular item is difficult.

A cast copper alloy livery button dating from approx 1800-1900, with traces of gilding and a dark enamel remaining on the surface. Circular and slightly convex in shape, with a circular loop of the same material soldered onto the back. The front features a heraldic crest of an oak tree, upon a torse, with a banner below with a now illegible text upon. The crest resembles that of the Asterby family (see Fairbairn's Crests of the leading families in Britain, 1911 Fairbairn, James.) There is also some lettering on the reverse, now very hard to make out, probably the maker's mark. It meas…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast copper alloy mount of Roman date. The mount is circular with a moulded front and flat reverse. The mount depicts Medusa looking forwards with wavy hair framing the face and possibly the rounded nubs of two wings protruding from the top of the head amongst the hair. No means of affixing the mount is present on the reverse which implies it was soldered or embedded onto the vessel or furniture item from which it came. Similar to DENO-D88461 Mounts of this type are not closely datable and it is therefore dated broadly to the Roman period, AD. c.43-300.

Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy ring, possibly from a harness, and which resembles a knopped terret ring. The frame is oval in cross-section and has a solid globular knop on the top. It has a smooth surface and a green patina all over. Knobbed terrets are well recorded in MacGregor, 1976, Early Celtic Art in Britain, Volume 1, page 46 (see also volume 2, 79, 80 for similar illustrated examples). MacGregor discusses that this form of terret ring may have a pre-Roman date, but that the majority are found in Roman contexts, a few dating to as late as the early 4th century. However, the p…
