Medieval weight; Cast lead weight of bell shape: The weight is essentially a circular cone, although it flares out towards the bottom and is flattened at the top. It has a curved suspension loop at the top, formed from a strap of lead, and is pierced in the centre of the base. The weight looks to have been reshaped after casting, although this is difficult to determine as it is also somewhat pitted and gouged across its surface. The lead has a white patina, of varying thickness. Height 41.3mm, width (“diameter”) 33.4mm, weight 185.3g Lead weights are difficult to date due the…

Object type: CLOTH SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Post Medieval cloth seal; very thin, circular, lead seal with torn section at the top where the back half has broken away. Seal has a raised oval section with the initials "I B" and a delicate twisted knot design between and around the letters. The reverse has some letters scratched rather crudely into its surface. The inscription is not clear, but may read 'et 9' above a horizontal line to the right of the seal. The style of lettering and design would seem to date this to the late 16th or 17th century. Diameter 21.36mm, thickness 2.96mm, weight 4.32g

Cast lead spindle whorl. Circular, domed spindle whorl with irregular circular hole through the centre. Decorated on both sides with a single line in relief forming a 4-pointed star shape. Diameter 29.7mm, thickness 10.0mm, weight 40.50g Spindle whorls are difficult to date since they were used in a very similar form for many centuries. This could therefore be from any period from Roman to early post medieval.

Possible medieval weight; Cast lead disc which may be a weight. The weight is circular with cast relief decoration on one face. The design seems to show a beast rampant, facing left in the centre with an inscription around the edge. Corrosion and wear have unfortunately rendered the inscription illegible. The reverse side has a small circular hole in the centre but is otherwise undecorated. This may be comparable to the weight shown in Biggs & Withers ‘Lead Weights; The David Rogers Collection’ as number 33, on page 23, although that example is much larger and heavier. Diamet…

Medieval button; Cast pewter circular plate button with relief decoration, dated to the 12th-15th centuries. The button is in the form of a flat, circular plate which has an inner circle containing a cross with a pellet in each quadrant of the cross.

Post-medieval cast lead object dated 1669, probably a toy. It is a flat, sub-rectangular plate with a large, inverted heart-shaped hole cast into it. A short stem, of flat cross-section, extends outwards from the longer edge of the object.
