Object type: FIGURINE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper alloy figurine of uncertain date, possibly Roman to Medieval (AD 1-1500). The fragment is sub-square in plan and curves in profile. The details represent the top of a figure's head with forehead, hair combed back and the top of the ear visible. The hair appears to have been painted red. The patina is light green.
A similar fragment recorded on the PAS database is LEIC-328D15. However, this example shows more detail in the hairstyle more securely suggesting the figurine depicted a Roman female. Owing to the lack of such detail in the fragment in question a bro…

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy spindle whorl of unknown date. The whorl is biconvex with a large central hole. The surface is very pitted and rough. It has a diameter of 24.4mm and is 13.4mm thick. Helen Geake writes: "Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, "The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 - c1450"; and Biddle, 1990, "Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester"), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, "Norwich Households: Medieval and Post M…

Record ID: YORYM-433BF1
Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast lead weight of unknown date. The weight is circular in plan with a flat top and base. There are no marks or decoration present on any surface and its shape suggests it was used as a measure.
The metal is a light whitish-brown colour and is worn. It weighs 32.9g.
Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and may date from the Roman to post-medieval period.

Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy loop, possibly related to horse harnesses or cart fittings, such as a terret ring or reign guide. The loop is plain and undecorated but taper in thickness slightly from one surviving terminal to the other. This object is unlikely to be a bracelet because it has an oval cross section, differing to those of bracelets. Due to the object's fragmentary nature, assigning a specific date is not possible, although it is unlikely to date to the prehistoric periods.

The ring is of generally consistent width and thickness, although there are corroded portions which are narrowed. Finger rings consisting of circular hoops of consistent width and thickness are known from the Roman period (Gu…
