The flower has a moulded pellet at the centre and six curved petals. Some of the petals are missing their ends. To the right of the pellet where the seventh petal would be, instead is a curved piece of lead in the shape of a horizontal S. It has a moulded rib running through the centre of the shape and the sides sloped. It ends at a worn break. The edges of the S are decorated with a beaded border. The reverse i…

A probable Post Medieval copper alloy mount or brooch, dating to circa AD 1500-1700. The object is oval in form and has a convex upper surface and flat reverse. The decoration and form of the object are of a snake eating its own tail. The decoration on the front face and main body of the object are a series of incised cross hatching marks. There is a moulded pellet eye and V shaped notch cut out to form the mouth. The reverse is flat apart from one small section that is slightly raised and could suggest an attachment to allow the object to be mounted. The object has a dark brown to b…

An incomplete, cast lead alloy heraldic mount, possibly a harness fitting of Post-Medieval date (AD1600-1800). The mount is decorated with a fantastic beast, possibly a wyvern or dracontile. The overall size of the mount is uncertain as part of the mount is missing, having broken off. It is probable that the broken section would have depicted the tail of the beast. The reverse of the mount is plain, flat and undecorated. There is evidence of the use of at least one iron lug to secure the mount to a belt or harness. The mount measures 38.7mm in length, is 27mm high and 4.5mm t…

Medieval to Post Medieval (c. 1300 to 1550) possible mounts or window came: The possible mounts are both formed by crumpled and bent arms which taper. The outer face of the artefacts have moulded grooves which is probably decorative. The surface of the mount is slightly oxidised. The larger artefact measures 29.17mm long, 20.37mm wide, 7.86mm thick and weighs 7.35g. The function of the artefacts is not certain. From the same site a lead star mount has been found (WAW-D2FAD2) and dated to the 15th to mid 16th century. These artefacts are not obvious star shapes, and the surface cond…

Medieval to Post Medieval (c. 1400 to 1550) probable lead mount: The mount is in the form of a six-pointed star, although three arms are missing and these breaks are not recent. The remaining arms are wavy in plan, have a triangular section and co-join at a central pellet. The two complete arms are folded towards the reverse of the mount. The surface of the mount is oxidised. The mount measures 29.16mm long, 24.06mm wide, 7.93mm thick and weighs 8.12g. A similar example was excavated in London (Egan 2005, 69, No.309) from a c.AD1500-1550 context. Egan (ibid.) notes that others have…

Description: An incomplete circular gold setting, originally with a domed cloisonné garnet setting. The circular backplate is framed by a thin (0.4mm) outer and thicker (1.1mm) inner beaded wire. The thicker wire is carefully made with narrow even beads, but the thin wire has more oblique beads and many Aquätorschnitte, no doubt reflecting the difficulty of manufacturing such extremely fine beaded wire. Part of the narrower wire has broken away and survives loose. The central cloisonné setting has an outer upright strip which in side view is slightly bent over to retain the garn…

A cast lead mount in the form of a stylised dolphin, or possibly a fish. The dolphin has an arched back and a tail which loops back on itself to meet with the arched back. The object has a flat base with slight traces of solder, and this may have been a handle for some sort of vessel.
