Record ID: NLM-EACB65
Object type: LID
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White metal lid. A hollow thin-walled cylindrical lid with a slightly thickened rim with eight flat facets, and with the stamped impression of a beast – perhaps a hound – rendered in heraldic style sitting left. The facets appear to be intended to facilitate the removal of the lid from its setting with a small spanner. The quasi-heraldic motif might suggest a connection with sporting pursuits, for which this may have served as a powder flask lid, perhaps from a set of matching paraphernalia. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1750

County: East Riding of Yorkshire

Silver brooch fragment. The identification of the material has been disputed by the finder. Kevin Leahy therefore kindly re-examined the object under a microscope, and comments as follows: 'The fracture suggests that this piece is copper alloy'. The record has therefore been amended, with the silver surface appearance now considered as plating.
Cast bow from a small bow brooch, possibly Mackreth type Almgren 16. A straight-sided bow with a central longitudinal ridge and with grooved borders; neatly cross-cut horizontally and diagonally at its lower end. The top is constricted and…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White metal gilt finger ring fragment. Cast fragment of the bezel of a fede or betrothal ring featuring the fingers of two clasped hands, one emerging from a cuff indicated by paired vertical lines. The motif was especially favoured c.1450-1550 but continued in later use. Gilding traces appear on the display side. The use of silver gilt was favoured in the late medieval to early post-medieval period, though the dull surface might equally indicate a lead-rich copper alloy. In view of its possible material and age the object is to be submitted to the Treasure process, ref. TBC.Suggested…
