A cast lead alloy representation of a human index finger of uncertain date. The artefact is realised in three dimensions and is broadly conical (D shaped) in plan and oval in cross section. It represents the tip of the index finger being cut off above the first knuckle. It is formed in three dimensions with a clearly delineated nail, cuticle and finger. On the lower edge of the front face is a additional irregular piece of lead which masks the lower left area. The underside is oval in shape with a slight depression at the mid-point. The artefact has a mid-grey colour with a well form…

A cast copper alloy ingot of unknown date. The ingot is sub-rectangular in plan and cross section; it tapers from a relatively thick narrow end to a thinner thicker one. The upper surface has a series of incised slightly diagonal lines applied to it. These lines are heavily patinated and form almost a deliberately delineated measure; however, the lines have been applied at random and are irregular in nature. The sides of the ingot are regular and it is possible that they have been hammered to that shape. The metal surface has a deep thick brown coloured patina which is much abraded and…

Four cast copper alloy ingots of unknown date. The ingots are all similar in form being broadly sub-rectangular in plan and faceted; each ingot has a different number of sides but all seem to be deliberately hammered or cast. The long sides of each ingot taper and expand forming a number of pre-defined smaller ingots; in shape they are similar to a string of beads or string of sausages. The space between each ingot seems to have a square shaped cross section, suggesting that each miniature ingot was of a predesigned functional size. Each ingot is a mid brown green colour with an even, …
