Object type: GAMING PIECE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast lead object, possibly an Early Medieval, Viking gaming piece. The object is domed and has an irregular shape with a rough surface on which is a raised cross motif, its underside is flat and shows signs of being open cast in a one piece mould. Diameter 19.4mm, Height 9.0mm, Mass 17.20g. While this object resembles some of the 'gaming pieces' found on Viking sites its form is atypical and, unless supported by other finds from the site, must be treated with some reservation.

Cast copper alloy pommel cap from an Early Medieval, tenth century, Viking sword, Petersen Type S, Wheeler Type III, (Peirce, 2002, 102-107). The cap is lentoid and in the from of five conjoined lobes, reducing in size from the centre through which is a hole to accomodate the rivetted end of the tang. The cap is hollow and incomplete, most of one side is missing and there is a hole in one of the lobe. As is it difficult to see how this damage occurred it is possible that the cap was mis-cast. Length 62.8mm, Width 18.0mm, Height 23.6mm, Metal section 4.4mm thick. Mass 39.10g

Silver ingot, boat-shaped with a D shaped section, now truncated with, apparently only one half present . Hackly fracture, surface rough. Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate silver content for the ingot of 82% other elements detected were lead (approximately 13%) and copper. This surface analysis is likely to a slight overestimate of the silver content of the core metal as corrosion altars the surface of the ingot by preferentially leaching out baser metals such as copper and lead but the object contains more than 10 % of silver required f…
