Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy mount in the form of a flower. The flower head is plano-convex and deeply moulded; on the reverse of the flower head is a short neck which then expands into a broadly circular shaped, uneven disc-shaped plate. These objects have been classed as Roman military belt / harness mounts but many have been proven to be post-medieval tobacco or tea caddy or tea pot lid handles. As it is made of a lead alloy it is far more likely to be a post-medieval handle rather than a Roman fitting.

Object type: SPOON
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete tin alloy (probably) spoon bowl of probable post-medieval date. The spoon bowl is broadly mandolin-shaped but the back of the bowl towards the (missing) stem end widens, unlike Roman examples which have tenon joints (see Crummy 1988: 69-70 for Roman examples), although it may have transposed into a twisted stem/handle. There are illegible scratches within the bowl. The metal is very thin and overall does not appear to be of Roman date.
