County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Published
A complete silver thimble of post-medieval date.

Object type: STYLUS
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Partly gilded silver stylus, now bent and incomplete. The eraser is spatulate, flaring with straight sides to a wide triangle. The edges of the eraser's end are wholly or substantially missing, although there is a short length of what may be a deliberate border groove at the left-hand corner and this may mark a small fragment of original edge, which may have been convex. There is also a similar groove along the left-hand side of the eraser, but its decorative nature is doubtful as it is not very well made, there is no matching groove on the opposite side, and it runs awkwardly onto th…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Silver strap-end of Thomas's Class A, type 1, originally decorated in Trewhiddle style, but later re-worked to depict a human figure, perhaps imitating a 'Heiligenfibel' or 'Saint' brooch.
The original strap-end is extremely well made. It has a split attachment end, although the two halves are now pressed closely together with no gap in between and indeed appear never to have been apart. The attachment end is shaped around two very small rivet holes, c. 0.8mm in diameter, with a tiny point in between. A fan- or pelta-shaped motif below this has a central drop-shaped fi…

Each beast bites the body of th…

Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A small medieval pendant, circular in form, engraved with the letters IHC. Known as the sacred monogram, these letters signify the name of Jesus and were commonly used in the Middle Ages.

The suspension loop remains intact and is decorated in a similar way.
The pin is silver and dates from the fifteenth or early sixteenth century.

Record ID: LVPL-9D1998
Object type: PENDANT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Published
It is a silver sixpence of King William III, dated 1697, which has been converted into a pendant by the addition of a suspension loop. The coin will be of the silver currency standard, i.e. sterling (92.5% fine metal). Its weight is 2.9g, with the loop.
The suspension loop has been placed so that the king's portrait is upright, so this was presumably meant to be the side on view. It appears, therefore, that some sort of commemoration of William III was intended. The coin is somewhat worn, however, and it looks as though it had seen a degree of circulation before its conversion into …

Treasure case 2014 T282.
A medieval silver fragment in the shape of a bearded male head dating to the late fourteenth or fifteenth century.
