An incomplete lead alloy harness mount of post-medieval date. Originally it would have been circular with a raised central boss and decorated around the outside with perhaps 12 smaller raised bosses - 2 of which survive. The central boss is damaged and may have been decorated. In the depression between the central and outer bosses there is a raised decoration of touching circles. On the reverse the surface is slightly concave and there is a remnant of what may have been the method of fixing this decorated lead item. Similar examples which can be found on the PAS database is LVPL-…

Record ID: LVPL-FDC381
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl or loom weight of probable medieval date. It is oval in plan and conical in section with a flat base. All surfaces are undecorated and have an uneven pale grey patina. The central perforation is 6mm in diameter, and is exposed on one side, presumably due to damage. Lead weights of this form were commonly used throughout the medieval and post-medieval period and are therefore difficult to date accurately. Examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is circular in plan and is D-shaped in cross-section. The flat face is rough and uneven with no visible pitting. Due to its undiagnostic nature it cannot be dated closely however the condition of the lead suggests a Post-Medieval date is likely. The object may have functioned as a palm guard however there are no diagnostic features. Palm guards were for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.
