Pale rose tinted flint with cloudy cortex opatches possible knife. Oval flake with angled invasive working across its dorsal side and faint ripples on the ventral. A curved edge bears tiny serrations produced by very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect. Patina on the flat edge opposite may suggest the serrated edge was the working part of the tool, with the flat part opposite enabling pressure to be exerted on it.

Dark blue opaque glass Intaglio. Oval gem stone with bevelled upper edge, flat behind. A naturalistically carved motif presents a male nude figure standing right, probably helmetted - or alternatively with a pudding basin haircut - standing left, holding an object in his outstretched right hand: this is probably a severed head; and a staff in his left. A long shaggy cloak hangs over his shoulders reaching down to his calves. An object at first identified as an oval chip is at 5 O'clock; closer inspection suggests this may be a round shield with rim. The lower sides and back are extrem…

The setting is corrugated with three gutters which run all around it. It bears a perforation of diameter 2mm centrally on one of its shorter sides, where its side is divided. A knob of green corrosion occurs on the opposite short side, though the metal setting is here un…

Amethyst Intaglio. Flat oval gemstone, cut with the slightly left-facing (as viewed) bust and shoulders of a man with sideburns and beard but no moustache, wearing a jacket with prominently high lapels. The reversed legend BRIGHT appears below the bust. Presumably from a seal or seal ring. The back of stone bears diagonal marks from sawing. The edges of stone are bevelled. The image resembles that of John Bright (1811-1889), a Quaker, Radical, and Liberal statesman, associated with Richard Cobden in the formation of the Anti-Corn Law League. He was a noted orator and …
