The pendant is circular in shape. There is a semi-circular break at the top of the pendant, this is likely to be where the suspension loop was situated, it is now missing. One side depicts a male bishop, standing facing, holding a child in his arms on his right. The child is facing forwards. To either side are hanging incense burners. The other side depicts a crucification scene, with Christ positioned centrally on a long cross with trilobate terminals. Diagonal rays extend from the internal angles of the cross. No legend is present on either side or along the edge. The edge exhibits a raised ridge indicating that it was cast.
It has a diameter of 11.3 mm and 1.4 mm thick. It weighs 0.6 g.
The pendant is a light to dark grey colour, with an even surface patina.
The male bishop is likely to be St Antony, holding the Christ child.
Catholic religious devotional pendants such as the example in this record were produced in large quantities from the mid-20th century onwards. They are composed of aluminium and often depicted various important figures & saints including Mary and St. Christopher.

The probable furniture fitting consists of a disc with twelve points, though with one larger and more angular than the rest. One side bears a moulded radial pattern, with each ray bordered like a petal. The larger petal forms part of an attachment/suspension fitting, with a longitudinal ridge on the reverse. The reverse of the disc has the remains of a central attachment spike in the centre.
It measures 31.9 mm in length, 22.5 mm wide and it is 4.9 mm thick. The metal is 2.6 mm thick. The disc has a diameter of 22.5 mm. It weighs 4.3 g.
The probable furniture fitting is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.
The probable furniture fittings bears a resemblence to a pastry jigger wheel or slim possibility that it is might be a spur rowel but the style of the attachment indicates that it never pivoted, so could not have functioned as either of those two items.

The brooch consists of the head and the upper part of the bow. The foot and catch plate, spring and pin are missing. The brooch is 'C' shape in profile. The bow tapers from an incomplete flared head to a moulded arcanthus waist, with a collar above and below. It then terminates in an old break that is well patinated. The head of the brooch is sub-oval in plan, and tapers into the bow. The remains of the vertical catch plate are present towards the foot (now missing) on the reverse of the bow.
The brooch measures 40.0 mm in length, 10.8 mm wide and 15.8 mm thick. It weighs 8.9 grams.

The buckle frame is trapezoidal in plan, with a drilled frame, for a separate spindle. The frame exhibits moulded decoration. Scrolled knops are present on either side of the spindle holes and a moulded pin rest is present on both of the outer loops. Annulet decoration is present on the outer loops. The pin rest moulding consists of engraved opposing oblique lines, imitating either a scallop shell or a leaf.
The buckle measures 27.3 mm in length, 17.5 mm wide and 4.9 mm thick. It weighs 5.1 g
The buckle frame is a dark grey colour, with an even surface patina. Iron corrosion is present around the spindle, indicating that the spindle has been made from iron.
A similar buckle frame has been recorded as #610 and #611 by Whitehead (1996, p 98) and has been dated to the Early Post Medieval period (c. AD 1660 to AD 1720). Whitehead suggests that they were originally used as either shoe or knee buckles. Several similar buckles have been recorded on the PAS database including: WMID-2A7C98; WMID-CC0116 and LVPL-87EF64.

AD 1100 to AD1450). The weight of the spindle whorl is suggestive of a thick wool or linen thread being spun, as there is a direct relationship between the weight of the whorl and the thickness of the resulting thread. Fine threads such as silk require a lighter whorl than those used to spun wool or linen.convex21364316504WMID2020-03-01T00:00:00Z2020-03-01T00:00:00Z2023-12-19T15:12:07Z2023-12-20T12:01:19Z11.8PAS6581B2C70018A922.85.312514141426150521504414892StaffordshireStaffordStandonSJ813452.90309708-2.28392068bands.shops.handy10WMID-1B3208Lead Alloy11095CompleteROMANx41218POST MEDIEVALx41047Metal detectorReturned to finder1142925_6582d778b0831.jpg1254354images/tgilmore/West MidlandsCertain12023-12-20T12:01:19.767Zfinds-11429181142918WMID-1AE131WEIGHTMEDIEVALA complete lead alloy pyramidal standing weight of possibly Medieval or Post Medieval date (AD 1066 - 1800).

The weight is ovoid (egg) in shape with a circular cross section and a flat base. Remains of an iron suspension loop are present at the apex (top) of the weight.
The weight is 36.0 mm tall, has a maximum diameter of 28.6 mm. It weighs 160.1 g (5.65 oz).
The weight is a mid to dark grey colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.
Weights can be hard to date due to being a functional artefact, forms and styles do not alter significantly over time. Several similar weights have been recorded on the PAS database including: WMID-FB748A, WMID-1F400E, WMID-C38931 and WMID-03E29B. All are considered to be Medieval or later in dating.2929110015004WMID2020-05-10T00:00:00Z2020-05-10T00:00:00Z2023-12-19T13:18:34Z2023-12-20T11:59:45Z160.1PAS6581982A00178228.63612514141426150521514515178StaffordshireNewcastle-under-LymeKeeleSJ804452.99295179-2.29940818bands.shops.handy10WMID-198B3ALead Alloy11095CompleteMEDIEVALx14221MEDIEVALx14221x14221Metal detectorReturned to finder1142882_6582d71ad04cd.jpg1254351images/tgilmore/West MidlandsCertain12023-12-20T11:59:45.57Zfinds-11428751142875WMID-194210BUCKLEPOST MEDIEVALA copper alloy sub-rectangular buckle of Post-Medieval date, circa AD 1720-1790.
The buckle frame is sub-rectangular in plan with rounded corners. The separate drilled spindle, chape and pin are missing. Both faces are undecorated. The buckle curves upwards in the centre.
It measures 32.6 mm in length, 28.8 mm wide and 3.7 mm thick. It weighs 2.9 g.
The buckle has a mid green colour surface patina. Abrasion in the plough soil has resulted in the loss of detail.
Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (1996: p.104). These types of rectangular shoe buckle with drilled frame for a separate spindle are dated to AD 1720-1790. There are similar buckles that have been recorded on the database; such as WMID-FB4817 discovered in Staffordshire.
