A cast copper alloy toy miniature canon of late Post-Medieval date (17th-19th century). These models were produced as complete working models of their larger counterparts.

The upper cylindrical 'neck' is hollow inside and has a length of 17.9mm and an outer diameter of 14.9mm. On the inside of the object there is a solid 'floor' between the 'neck' and the 'flask' which gives the appearance that the 'flask' is solid. However, due to slight damage at the base, it is possible to confirm that it is hollow. At the rear,…

A lead alloy spindle whorl of medieval to early post-medieval date (c. 1300-1500). The object is circular in plan with a central circular perforation, the internal diameter of which is 7mm. Only one face is decorated with moulded lines some of which appear to be curved resembling possible letters. This possible lettering appears to have no pattern and is indecipherable and may form a runic or psudo-runic script. If not entirely fictional and imitative, it is possible that the runes may relate to an individual's name, or perhaps are a religious inscription. However it may be that th…
