Object type: TOY
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two near complete copper alloy miniature toy cannons dating from the late post medieval or early modern period (c.AD1675 - 1725). One is larger than the other but both have a similar form. The smaller of the two is composed of a cascabel and button, vent, two trunnions, an astragal and a muzzle. The object is cylindrical, being slightly wider at the cascabel and narrowing to a flared muzzle. The carriage is no longer present and would have likely been made of wood, so would not easily be preserved. It is very similar in form to ESS-33EC9B. The larger is near identical to the smalle…

A copper alloy seal matrix in the form of a heraldic shield, dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1300-1400. The object is shield shaped in profile and flattened in cross section. It has sustained significant damage to the outer perimeter, notably on the left hand side and upper quarter. This has affected the area of the inscription, so it appears possibly incomplete and certainly abbreviated. Viewed from the reverse, it is also clear that this damage may have impacted the lower part of the shield, with the result that it now appears unbalanced and asymmetrical. The reverse retains…
