A fragment of a copper alloy figurine of uncertain date, possibly Roman to Medieval (AD 1-1500). The fragment is sub-square in plan and curves in profile. The details represent the top of a figure's head with forehead, hair combed back and the top of the ear visible. The hair appears to have been painted red. The patina is light green.
A similar fragment recorded on the PAS database is LEIC-328D15. However, this example shows more detail in the hairstyle more securely suggesting the figurine depicted a Roman female. Owing to the lack of such detail in the fragment in question a broader date of Roman to Medieval has been applied here.
The overall dimensions are as follows: 20.16mm in length, 26.33mm in width, 3.69mm in thickness and 5.62g in weight.

A lead alloy spindle whorl of unknown date. The whorl is biconvex with a large central hole. The surface is very pitted and rough. It has a diameter of 24.4mm and is 13.4mm thick. Helen Geake writes: "Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, "The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 - c1450"; and Biddle, 1990, "Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester"), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, "Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 - 78"). The excavated assemblage from Winchester contains one lead whorl from a mid to late tenth century context." Whorls have also been found in association with Roman buildings. Undecorated spindle whorls can therefore date from the Roman, Early Medieval or Medieval periods.

The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and it is pitted.
This object does not look Roman or pre-Roman in form, but it does not comfortably fit into a medieval or post-medieval date frame either.
