Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval fragment of twisted silver wire with thistle-shaped gilt finial, approximately 4.0 cm long. The object, which has been examined by a number of British Museum curators in different fields, is hard to place and no parallels have yet been found for it. The thistle-shaped terminal is reminiscent of those on late 15th Century silver spoons, but these lack the twisted wire. A tentative dating to the 16th Century is proposed here until further evidence comes to light.

Record ID: HAMP-4C17A8
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
A silver element of post-medieval (17th-century) date. It has a rounded terminal with central dot in silver and two prongs. It is crude and flat. The original function of this object is unclear; it is possibly from a dress pin of bodkin form although it is flat rather than quadrangular in section which would argue against this. It is perhaps part of a toilet set.
