The head is carved from sandstone. The object has been identified from the attached photographs. The head has an elongated oval flat face with recessed lentoid eyes. The nose is long flattened, expanding in width towards the nostrils resulting in a sub-triangular form. The lips are worn. The rear of the head is flattened with less signs of weathering.

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete possible whetstone of uncertain date. The stone is lentoid in profile and circular in section constructed from fine grained sandstone with a high mica component. Each end of the object has broken away. A deep linear groove measuring 5.16mm in width runs transverse across the centre of one face, possibly caused by sharpening tools. This form of whetstone is fairly ubiquitous throughout history. It is difficult to say that this is definitely a whetstone as natural stones could be used for this purpose without much working to make them suitable. Whetstones are known to h…

The find consists of three metal objects: Terminal of a flattened bar ingot; length, 31mm; weight 8.44 grams. Short, curved bar, with projections on one side and base; length, 22mm. Scrap piece; length, 13mm. Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated that A consists of lead-antimony with some tin and zinc; and B-C are of copper alloy. The objects are not of precious metal and are of uncertain date, so do not qualify as Treasure under the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act. B.M. Ager

Cast lead ingot of uncertain date. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and oval in cross-section. Ingots were a convenient way in which to store and transport raw materials prior to their melting down for the manufacture of cast metal objects. It is difficult to date such undiagnostic items. There is no evidence of corrosion and the condition of the ingot indicates that it is of a late date. It has a dark brown patina.
