Object type: HARNESS PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible harness pendant. Cast discoid plate with a suspension loop formed by the curling of a tapered lug. At first glance, the object looks as if made from a small spoon, but there is no sign of the cracking which would probably arise through the flattening of a concave bowl, nor of any rib between the putative stem and bowl. Suggested date: Possibly Medieval, 1250-1450. Cleaned by finder. Length: 35.4mm, Width: 23.5mm, Thickness (plate): 1mm, Weight: 4.95gms.

Record ID: LIN-3528D6
Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable copper alloy strap slider of medieval or post medieval date. The fitting is roughly trefoil shaped with the remains of what appears to be grooved decoration on the front. On the reverse is a rectangular loop, also rectangular in cross section, which allowed the object to be threaded onto a belt or harness strap. The strap slider has suffered extensive corrosion resulting in the loss of surface detail, making this example difficult to date closely. Numerous similar examples of various dates may be seen on this database, for example LIN-8768E5.

Object type: COIN WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy coin weight of Medieval date. It is square and uniface and rectangular in section. The face depicts a lion seated left within a double square border. The weight could be for one of several coins: Philip the Good of Burgundy (1419-1467) struck a lion which weighed 4.25g and its fractions (2/3rds: 2.83g, 1/3rd: 1.41g) between 1454-1460. In 1583-1584 the Flanders lion was struck along with its half, which weighed 4.14g. These all have arches above the lion rather than square borders but this based on image and weight the 2/3rds Lion seems the most appropriate option…
