Modern silver bracelet terminal in the form of a moulded zoomorphic head incised with circular pupils within lentoid eyes surrounded by a banded pattern of parallel chevrons with transverse grooves creating a scale-like skin, with moulded vertical ears with a central groove, and a curled upper lip and snout and an open mouth. The underside of the mouth and jaw also has a pattern of transverse grooves with perpendicular parallel incised lines between them, giving the appearance of scaled skin. The slightly recessed broken end is not a socket but solid, suggesting that this is a termina…

County: Telford and Wrekin
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete incomplete finial from a silver tea pot lid, of Late Georgian to Victorian dating (AD 1750s to AD 1900s) Approximately 90% of the finial is present, with the base and most of the body present. The top is incomplete. The finial originally had a biconvex body with facetted sides (creating a hexagonal shape), with a similar hexagonal base. It was originally hollow, but now contains soil from the burial environment. A casting seam is present around the middle of the body. The base appears to be have been made from a separate piece of probable silver and soldered to the…

Object type: SPEAR
Broad period: MODERN
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron spear of Modern date, possibly a replica or ethnographic piece. It has an angular blade which is a lozenge in section. The neck is sub-square in section and the socket is a rounded square near the neck, gradually changing to oval in section at the end. The socket appears to be of solid construction. An unusual feature, and the one that indicates a Modern date, is a bolt across the socket of which only the hexagonal head and nut can be seen projecting from the sides of the socket. The socket is full of earth and corrosion. When recovered from the ground, the spear had laye…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MODERN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead Pump seal Weights, as kindly identified by Dr Kevin Leahy. Two cast plates (a and b). Each object is a plate with one rounded end and an opposed straight edge, formed like the heel of a boot. The objects have bevelled edges, which for a heel would be angled inward and forward. The 'upper' surfaces bear integrally cast waisted studs with rounded heads of diameter 22-25mm. The larger of these objects retains fragments of thick (circa 4mm) leather in the waist of the stud, which probably passed through a slightly smaller hole cut in the leather. The leather would be oiled to serve…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead or lead alloy mount, probably fairly modern 1800 to 1900AD, in the shape of a knight on a horse (the knight's head has come off & it looks like something may have come adrift under the horses hooves). It appears to have been mounted using a central stud. It measures 120mm long and 78mm wide. There is a copper alloy mount of similar subject on the PAS, BH-B91E31, but it has been attached at multiple points. It is worth noting that there were Pilgrim badges with a similar subject (possibly George & the Dragon)and made of the similar material (lead or lead alloy). There appears to b…

Broad period: MODERN
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast pewter mount in the form of a horse's head with bridle and blinkers. The mount has been decorated on both sides, with similar detail on the head of the horse, but the mane has more curved and concentric lines on one side than the other. The object was obviously meant to be seen from both sides so it would not have been a badge, but perhaps more likely a finial or toy as it has no means of attachment left extant. The body of the horse is missing but the edge of the base of the neck does not appear to have been broken off a larger piece, so this may represent the complete object. o…

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: MODERN
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy chisel or wedge with integral iron butt end which is lozenge-shaped in plan and waisted with two expanded ends in profile. The blade end is quite thick (4mm) and expanded equally on both sides in profile, at right angles to the hafted end. There are several nicks or edges, parallel to and along the blade which suggest it was wedged into something harder than itself and perhaps hammered with an iron hammer at the opposite end. The iron remains seem to be integral to the hafted end which is solid and not socketed and there is a line running through the iron at right an…

An iron spear, weighing 227g. The spear comprises three elements. It has a square sectioned, tapering tang which would have fitted into a shaft. This has been hammered from the middle circular sectioned part of the spear. The spear head is leaf-shaped with a raised ridge running down either side. The tip is broken. It is probably a spearhead brought to this country from India or Africa. A search through the usual literature on spearhead found no British parallel for the tanged shaft but there was an African weapon with similar shaped blades and with bindings around their shafts …
