Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy vessel fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. A triangular section curving bar, expanding to an everted thickened rounded terminal at one end, broken at the other. Subsequently fiercely abraded, with more damage to the outer side of its curved form than elsewhere. The finder kindly suggests a function as a detached vessel handle. This reporter would deem the triangular section and keeled appearance more likely to point to a vessel leg. There is no trace of sooting to suggest its use on the hearth, so, if this is its leg, the putative vessel may have been an item of f…

Lead spindle whorl. Cast conical or plano-convex whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 8mm, cf. Walton Rogers form A2. A crudely and thinly incised pattern of Vs or chevrons, points uppermost, passes round the wall. Patinated. The spindle hole size might admit a Roman or Anglo-Saxon date while its mass could permit this object to be used to spin a fine yarn.

The spindle hole size might admit a Roman or Anglo-Saxon date while its mass could permit this object to be used to spin a fine yarn.

Lead hem wight. Cast discoid weight with a central sunken panel on one side wherein lie three drilled stitching holes. The metal retains a grey tint suggesting a recent date. Though probably most are of Victorian date, these objects continue to be sold today for crafts. The provision of three holes rather than the usual pair is an unusual feature; this is also a little larger than normal for the type.

Copper alloy mount. Cast concavo-convex naturalistically modelled mask of a maned lion with luxuriant tresses and ‘beard’ arranged in a sub-rectangular form to frame jowels, nose and brows projecting in strongly moulded relief. Extensive gilding traces appear on the display side. Two drilled holes of diameter 6mm appear at either end of the mouth, with a further blind pit behind the nose. The former features might be apt to the pouring of liquid from a vessel; the object is of a distinct type from those considered as Roman box mounts or funereal fittings, if indeed it is of…
