A small fragment of a post medieval clay tobacco pipe, probably dating to the period c. AD 1680 to 1730. Only the heel and a very small part of the bowl survives.

The base of the heel is stamped with the inscription [C]HAR / WEBB / IN / CHARD. One side of the projecting heel also has a raised letter C. The pipe fragment is a pale beige on the outside, white within, no part of the original inner surface remains. The pipe fragment is c.12.4mm long,…

Part of the bowl of a post-medieval clay tobacco pipe with one profile, the heel and a very short section of the stem remaining. About 50% of the bowl has been lost to a ragged old break. There is a line of rouletting (small rectangles) just below the mouth of the bowl. The bowl is angled at about 45 degrees to the stem and swollen sided, although the complete form is unclear. The base of the heel is flat and broadly circular. It is stamped with the maker's mark, in this case the neat, seriffed incuse letters IE[F]/FRY . H/VNT.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Published
Broken polished silica stone, probably carnelian, bead, of uncertain date, possibly Roman. The bead is a flattened hexagonal in cross section and sub-rectangular in plan, tapering slightly to one end which may be complete, although irregular. The other end is clearly broken. There is a circular cross section hole running through the bead, more close to one side than the other, particularly at the broken end. At the broken end it is clear the stone was orange throughout, although banded with deeper redder and paler colours. The surface, and part of the probably complete end, has develo…

Small fragment probably from the wall of a cast copper alloy vessel. The piece is an irregularly shaped piece of copper alloy, thickening towards one side. Three diverging raised ribs run from the thicker to the thinner side. 28.3mm long, 19.8mm wide and 5.3mm thick, it weighs 8.06g. The material, proportions and width apart of the diverging ribs suggests this is part of a cast copper alloy vessel near the point a leg projected out, rather than part of a socketed axe. Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used for cooking over open fires from c.AD 1200-1800, being only grad…

Part of a large, Early Medieval gilded copper alloy sheet mount with slightly concave sides and chip carved spiralling interlace decoration, probably of 8th century date. The fragment has part of one long edge which has a shallow, concave, curve. There is an unrecessed border along this edge from which an unrecessed line projects at right angled to bisect part of a unrecessed line circle before ending in a circular hole in the opposite, broken edge. It seems likely that the mount, or this part of it, was symmetrical with a central circular hole encircled by a plain line circle and fou…

Medieval copper alloy zoomorphic stamped sheet buckle plate dating to the late 12th to 13th century depicting a winged lion.
