Medieval lead object fragment, possibly the bulb from a boatswains' or pilgrims' whistle. Three-dimensional hollow object, originally domed or sub-spherical and with a suspension loop, is it now broken at the 'base' (opposite the suspension loop) and squashed flat. The surviving surface is decorated with two ring and dots, flanking a longitudinal herringbone line. The other surface is damaged and distorted but what survives appears to have been decorated in the same way (can make out two ring-and dots). There is no wear on the loop. The casting line runs down the sides of the loop and …

Lead alloy possible whistle fragment, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast terminal from a whistle, with a domed end with a round suspension loop on a short stalk at its apex, and with a basal collar. A clear mould line is visible on the outside of the object. The external surface is thickly patinated but the interior is only very lightly patinated, which may suggest that this object became detached from the rest after the whistle was lost or deposited intact. Lightly squashed. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850. Length: 14.6mm, Diameter: c.12mm, Thickness: 1.2mm, Weight:…

Lead alloy whistle. Hollow-cast naturalistically modelled three-dimensional figurine representing a songbird perched or sitting on its nest. A round basal hole of diameter 8mm marks where this component would be mounted on a tube into which air would be blown. Some versions of this toy would retain water to produce a warbled note.

Possibly an incomplete Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy whistle dating from AD 1400-1550.  The object is a cylindrical perforated pipe possibly in the form of a gun barrel.

At the un-broken end there is a ridge around the barrel from which there is is a slight flare to the end. There is a very slight protuberance around the hole which may be part of an insert. It has two loops opposite each other on the barrel and between them on each…

A lead alloy object which is unidentified. The artifact is roughly cone shaped but with a rounded and faceted lower half and concave sides. The top is also rounded making the shape rather like a pear. The object has a diameter of 22.8mm and is 19.3mm thick. In the centre of the flat base is an irregular sub-triangular hole that extends about halfway into the centre of the object. The function of this object is unknown. It may be a weight and the hole could be to adjust the mass exactly. It could also have contained a copper alloy plug also for fine adjustment. Lead weights are very imp…

A small complete, shield shaped lead weight, with a flat top and base and curved edges. The triangular weight also has rounded corners. There is an extensive amount of damage on the top of the weight where the decoration is. Therefore it is illegible. The damage is in the form of deep incisions which give the impression they were done when the weight was hot due to the melting of the edges. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour and measures 48.71mm x 29.90mm x 15.34mm, weighing 111.32g. Due to a lack of examples and lack of context the date remains uncertain but it is probably Medie…
