Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy mount, possibly from a horse harness decoration, dating to the late Post Medieval period, circa AD1600-1700. A stub of an integrally cast spike is present on the reverse at both ends of the mount - 2 spikes in total. The position of the stubs at the extreme ends of the mount suggests that the object may have been a belt or strap slide. In plan, the mount has a lozenge-shaped body with rounded protrusions at two opposing ends. The face of the mount is concave and the reverse is convex. Cast, moulded decoration is present on the face of the mount. The des…

Object type: GAMING PIECE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete, possibly glass, gaming piece probably dating to the Roman period, circa AD50-400. The gaming piece is conical in form with a sub circular base and sides which narrow to a rounded point. The sides of the gaming piece are slightly faceted. The surfaces of the gaming piece are smooth and shiny and are mottled blue / black in colour. Light surface scratching is present probably as a result of movement in the plough soil. The material is uncertain due to the softness of the fabric and the object's unusually light weight. Dated as probably Roman owing to an assemblage of Roman b…

An incomplete standstone disk weight of unknown date. Approximately 40% of the weight survives due to old breaks. The weight would have originally been circular in plan with a central circular perforation. The weight is now U-shaped. The remains of the perforation indicate that it would have originally had a diameter of approximately 16.3mm. The upper and lower faces of the weight are undecorated and broadly flat. The external and internal edges of the weight are straight. The stone is yellow -light brown in colour with mica inclusions. The surfaces of the weight are rough and uneven,…

A complete lead alloy uniface token of late Medieval to early Post Medieval date, circa 1400-1700. The token is sub-triangular in plan, with rounded corners, and irregular in section. There appears to be a raised, cast design on the face of the token, but the surface is too worn to be certain. The reverse of the token is flat and undecorated. The token has a mottled mid grey and light green patina and is worn as a result of movement in the plough soil. Lead tokens were used throughout the Medieval and Post Medieval periods as a substitute for low denomination currency. Length: 19.6…
