Object type: INTAGLIO
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An intaglio, possibly of Roman date. The intaglio is plano-convex and has a shallow rim around the base which indicates that it was once contained within a setting. The intaglio is translucent but has a yellow tint to it, possibly indicating that it is made of glass. The flat circular face of the intaglio has an uncertain motif carved into it. This item was discovered on the Romano-British settlement at Nettleton Top (Willis 2013), however the size, form, and motif of the intaglio is rather unusual for Roman. The date is therefore unknown at present. Willis, S. 2013. The Roman R…

Fragment of a glass monochrome globular beaker, probably dating to the late 8th or 9th century. The fragment comprises a section of rim and body. The rim is circular in section and has a pronounced ridge on the interior where it meets the interior wall. On the exterior, the rim blends smoothly with the vessel wall. The body is decorated with three transverse lines; the centre one is formed by two lines that have a small gap between them. The glass is dark olive-green in colour, and can be compared with no's.5980 and 5152 from Staunch Meadow, Brandon (Tester et al 2014: plate 6.2). Con…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of glass. The item has no complete edges, but it is flat on both sides. The glass is 2mm thick and all edges reveal fresh breaks. The glass is pale green in colour and has a buff patina. No inclusions are seen in the glass. This item is difficult to date. It could derive from a flat-sided bottle, but is is perhaps more likely to be from a window pane, possibly even a stained glass window.

An elaborate Middle Saxon glass amulet or mount. The object is circular in plan, and plano-convex in section. The body is made of a dark purple/black coloured glass, and is decorated on the domed surface with seven lines of twisted coloured glass radiating from the centre. The area at the centre where they merge is somewhat muddled, suggesting that each of the seven strands were laid in sequence and pushed together at the top. Four different styles of strands are visible. The first is turquoise and is decorated with white twisted strands. There are two of these, roughly opposing on…

Approximately one third of an Anglo-Saxon glass bead or spindle whorl, probably used as an amulet. The object was originaly circular in plan and plano-convex in cross-section. It has a circular hole through the centre measuring 7mm diameter.

A Roman melon bead made of green glass (circa AD 50- AD 200). A hole passes through the centre. The object was found on a field that has produced material suggestive of a sixth century Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery, and so it is possible that this bead was reused in the 6th century.

A conical bi-chrome glass stud slightly taller than it is wide, width 16.5-17.5 mm, height 18mm, on a clay core. The glass is opaque grey to off-white and deep blue, semi-opaque and worked in a feathered pattern and wrapped around a fired clay core, visible at the base. The base diameter would fit a substantial setting and it would have projected for some distance. The top appears quite smooth and unchipped and the whole weighs 6.34g. There is also a possibility that this was a playing piece from a set, as mentioned for a glass cabochon found at Wearmouth (Cramp 2005, 91). Playing A…

A fragment of the body of a square glass bottle dating to the late first or second century AD. The fragment is right-angled and comprises part of the concave base.

A seal from a glass bottle. The seal is oval and has in its centre a shield with a vertical sword. Lance Mytton has kindly provided the following information: The seal is likely to be that of the the Dymoke family of Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire. J.C. Walter's 'History of Horncastle' (1908) records a brass in St Mary's Church commemorating Sir Lionel Dymoke. It once displayed shields showing the arms of Dymoke, Waterton, Marmyon, Hebden and Haydon, one of which is described as "Argent, a sword erect, azure, hilt and pomel gules".
