Record ID: CORN-698586
Object type: CLASP
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete sheet copper alloy clog or shoe clasp, waisted and double shield-shaped in plan, with a grooved border following the edge of the clasp. The clasp would have had a corresponding hasp with cut out sections to take the hooked part at the end. There are the faint remains of a stamped circle, at one end, enclosing a flower head, with foliage beneath the circle, spreading to the opposite end of the clasp.
Bailey (1992) illustrates a similar example on page 17, No.43, which is dated to the 18th century.

Object type: BOOK FITTING

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Sheet copper alloy hook-plate from a book clasp, rectangular in plan and flat in section, with a flared front plate. These clasps were attached to leather straps fixed to the book and helped to hold it shut by hooking into a corresponding catch-piece on the other side. The end of the plate has a rivet hole, to attach the plate to a leather strap, which still retains its rivet. The opposite end is bent over to form a central hook, 5 mm wide, beyond a squared off terminal. The upper face of the hookplate is decorated with three rouletted borders, which run across the plate, perpendicular…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Tin book mount depicting a male head with striated hair stamped on top of a four-pointed cross, with parallel oblique rays in each angle, within a twelve-sided dodecagon shape. The mount may be a religious piece from the style and symbolism, and the head may depict a local saint, so that the associated book may have been a bible or some important medieval religious text. The mounts would have taken some effort to produce as there were three different procedures involved: snipping the shape, striking the main design and then stamping the central head. This central stamp has left the mou…

Object type: SEAL
Broad period: MODERN
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Modern seal; impressed lead alloy bag seal, or similar, with a coin of George III used as seal matrix. The seal is a large, horizontal oval of lead with a short sprue extending down from the bottom of the oval. The object is broken off at the bottom of the sprue. The front face of the seal bears the reversed impression of a coin, judging from the size (approx. 28.5mm diameter) and inscription this seems to be a halfpenny of George III, dated 1806. It has a laureate head of the king facing left as you look at it (in reverse to the portrait on the coin) and can be seen to read GEORGIUS I…

Object type: PLAQUE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a lead plaque with three sets of stamped initials of post-Medieval date.
The plaque was probably originally a rectangular plate, though is now missing approximately 25% of the plate, including two corners.
Three sets of the same initials are stamped in three of the four quarters of the plate: WS, or possibly SM. Two of the stamps read the same (eg WS), while the third stamp is a mirror (eg reading SM).
The style of lettering makes a 17th or 18th century date feasible.
It is unknown what the purpose of the object was.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy weight, rectangular in plan and profile and section with a faint central circular stamp of a rose and crown and another rectangular stamp with a number ending in 7 on the upper face. The stamps would suggest a coin weight but the shape and size of the weight suggest that it may be an apothecary weight instead. If it is a coin weight, then it would have come from the Low Countries (Paul Withers pers comm).
It weighs 26 g which almost equates to one ounce averdupois.
