Inscribed gold finger ring with inlaid enamel panels and central semi-precious (possibly rock crystal) or glass stone setting. The ring dates to the late post-medieval or early modern period.

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete copper alloy unidentified object. The object has a oval-sectioned collared base with two lozenge-sectioned arms rising from it in a V-shape. The surface of the object is extremely worn and pitted, and the edges of the arms look as if they still retain excess metal not removed after casting. This is most noticable at the juction of the V, where untrimmed metal forms a rough high panel between the arms. The breaks are well patinated.

A stirrup-strap mount of Williams's Class A, type 11a. This mount, which would have been attached to the leather strap attached to a horse's stirrup, shows a lion facing left and looking upwards with an open mouth. The lion's front leg is raised, and its tail twists upwards over its back. The form of the lion is similar to that on Williams (1997) p59,no 202. The overall shape of the mount is sub-triangular, with an apex loop at the top. Unlike most type 11 mounts, the loop has no lobe or spirals, and is comparable to that on Williams (1997) p61, no 222. Rivets would have been driven t…
