A cast lead alloy object of unceratin function and date. The object is sub-circular in plan and oval in cross-section. At the top of the object is a central projection which is oval in cross-section. The projection is incomplete and possibly would have formed an attachment loop. Projecting from either side of the possible incomplete loop are two curved pointed triangular projections (four in total). The projections curve towards the central attachment. Each face of the object is decorated with lines of raised moulded pellets. A casting seeem remains around the edge of the object below…

Description: The object is a strip of silver with a pattern of what appear to be stamped lines on one side, cut at both ends and bent. There are no visible test marks, and no trace of solder or other fastening. Dimensions: 8mm wide, and 1mm thick. Weight 4.52g Discussion: The object has some similarities with so-called broad-band arm-rings of the late 9th and 10th centuries, produced in Viking contexts around the Irish Sea. Such pieces were commonly cut-up as 'hack-silver', valued by weight within a bullion economy. Finds of arm-rings of this type are recorded from Viking hoar…

An lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is circular in plan and is D-shaped in cross-section. The flat face is rough and uneven with no visible pitting. Due to its undiagnostic nature it cannot be dated closely however the condition of the lead suggests a Post-Medieval date is likely. The object may have functioned as a palm guard however there are no diagnostic features. Palm guards were for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.

A copper alloy zoomorphic unidentified object probably of Post-Medieval date. The object is C-shaped in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. It consists of a curved outer frame which terminates with an animal head at one end. The opposite end is broken but is likely to have featured an identical terminal. The terminal is in the form of an animal, possibly a snake or a dog with moulded rounded ears and ridged brows. The eyes are no longer visible and the jaws are open wide. The object has a mid-grey patina. A similar example recorded on the database is Oakden, V (2015) LVPL-5AC…

A cast lead alloy ammonite of Post-Medieval to Modern date. The object is sub-circular in plan and uniface. The curled body of the ammonite decorates the outer face while the rear of the object is flat but pitted. The object has a dark cream patina and is in fair condition. It may have been cast from a fossil and would have been relatively easy to make. The coat of arms of Whitby Abbey shows three curled snakes, previously represented as ammonites. Taking the location of the find spot into account in the parish of Whitby this may represent a pilgrim's souvenir or a more modern tour…

An incomplete cast copper alloy unidentified object probably dating to the 16th century. The object consists of a rectangular band from which projects three sub-rectangular sectioned 'arms' which expand into three conjoined ovals. The voids between each 'arm' forms openwork decoration. The oval projections are decorated with moulded cross-hatching. The outer face of the object is gilded while the internal face is undecorated. It is curved in profile. The exact function of this object is unknown however the style and gilding suggest a 16th century date.

An incomplete copper alloy object of Post-Medieval date. The object is sub-oval in plan and semi-circular in cross-section. It is decorated with grooves throughout its length on the outer face. The open end of the object terminates with a break. The object is corroded and has traces of a mid-brown patina on the outer face. The object is similar to a Post-Medieval saddle pommel howver is too small to have functioned as such. A saddle pommel would have been riveted onto a wooden protrusion on the front of the frame of the saddle, to which the reins could then be secured. Saddles were…
