Copper alloy and iron probable pastry cutter or jigger fragment. A cast baluster-shaped flat-sided plate with the corroded relict of a ferrous metal cog or cutting wheel [now of diameter 20.4mm and formerly of at least 25mm] attached on a round lug. Rust stains on the adjacent part of the copper alloy plate may hint at the loss of a further cog from a gear system. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1800 Length: 36mm, Width: 17.8mm, Thickness (overall): 5.1mm, Weight: 5.11gms

A complete Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age copper alloy votive model of a miniature wheel dated to c. 1000-500 BC. The wheel is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross section with each elements of the wheel (its spokes, rim and centre) being convex on the front and flat on the back. The wheel has a trapezoidal shaped 'axel' from which four spokes radiate, narrowing as they do, before joining the outer rim. The holes between each of the axel are sub-oval, almost pointed ovals. There is a circular perforation in the centre of the axle (c.3.0mm diameter) this shows little sign of …

A copper alloy miniture wheel, possibly a votive model dating from the Late Bronze Age to Early Roman period, but it could also be a Post Medieval pastry jigger or component from a Post Medieval to Modern toy. The object is an openwork circular disc with four spokes and a central lozenge shaped hub, perforated by a sub-square hole. The hub and spokes are square in cross-section. The spokes narrower in the middle and flare towards the ends in plan. The rim of the "wheel" is wider than the spokes, and is bevelled on both faces, so the outer edge is pointed, making a triangle in cross…

A pottery sherd from the wall of a Post-Medieval to Modern vessel. This sherd is probably from an English stoneware vessel, perhaps with a saltglaze on the exterior, and of 18th-19th century AD date. The exterior surface has unusual impressed decoration in the form of two parallel grooves at the top(?) beneath which are four wavy parallel lines formed from numerous small impressed rectangles, perhaps created by an implement such as a pastry jigger that would have enabled the decoration to be rolled onto the surface. The entire object has been excessively heated and shows signs of vitri…

A copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object has a rectangular sectioned 'tang' at one end, and opens out into a sub rectangular wider and thinner area at the other. It is not clear whether the end is original or a break, but is possibly has slight teeth or a patterned edge, like a pastry jigger. The wider area is slightly convex and curved, making the reverse slightly hollow. There is a slight step between the 'tang' and the 'paddle' like area. The end of the square sectioned part is an old break. This object has some similarities with Roman styli, but the square …

A cast lead alloy unifaced disc with a series of cast holes; in plan the disc represents a relatively crude wheel. The date of the artefact is unknown, however from the casting techniques a later medieval - modern date is suggested (1350 - 1800). The front face is decorated with a cast design; this consists of a central raised boss from which eight irregular spokes extend conjoining with the outer rim of the disc. Each rib is decorated with a series of raised pellets; at the junction between the spoke and rim is an annulet or a solid pellet, the space between these is filled with salt…

Copper alloy object, possibly a pastry cutter. Cast star-shaped object with eleven blunt triangular points, with the position of another occupied by a short solid slightly bulbous oval handle of rectangular section. This appears to be a simplified version of the pastry jigger with a rotating wheel. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800.

Copper-alloy unidentified object, of unknown date. It has one broken or possibly cut end, which is a flat hexagon or oval in cross-section. The other end is bifurcated, with each arm D-shaped in cross-section and tapering. The end of each arm is slightly expanded into an oval, rounded on the outside and flat on the inner face. Both ovals are pierced, and the holes are now blocked with hard soil, probably with some iron corrosion. The arms are not precisely symmetrical and at least one might have been bent outwards a little. Each arm is c. 16mm long and the total surviving length is 25…

A cast copper alloy unidentified object of probable Post Medieval date, with a thick shaft, and a hooked anchor-shaped zoomorphic terminal. The zoomorphic element appears to be of two bird, serpent or animal heads with a crest or mane on the back of the neck. An openwork triangle separates the two zoomorphic ends, formed from a rectangular sections bar joining the apes of the two beasts' necks. There are incised lines on the necks representing fur or feathers. The necks of the creatures come together in the central shaft which is D shaped in section. The end looks to have been cut - i…

An incomplete copper-alloy possible pastry jigger of Post Medieval date. One terminal, which is not complete consists of a two pronged stem in which a wheel would have originally been attached, this is now missing. There is then a rectangular collar before a circular sectioned bar, which has a double moulding in its centre. The other terminal again has a circular collar and the remains of a possible pastry edging or cutting knife now survives. This is a flat trapezoidal plate with snapped and bent outer edges. It measures 115.68mm in length, 24.14mm in width, 7.13mm in thickness…

A lead alloy object, possibly a weight, toy or maybe metal working debris. The object is an irregular disc which is fairly flat on both faces and has damaged edges. There are faint traces of incised lines on the edge which may have been a zigzag like a pastry jigger. Thee are deep scratches and damage on both faces. Near the centre of each face is a deep hole but they do not appear to join to perforate the plate. However, the object could have rotated on prongs resting in the hole and may be a wheel from a toy. The metal has a rough white patina. It is 27.8mm long, 25mm wide and 5.1mm…

Uncertain object, possibly a terminal from a modern, 18th-19th century pastry jigger. The remains of the object consist of the top-end with some sort of punching or decorating tool, which is solid cast, followed by a hollow conical 'handle' or body. The tool at the top-end has six pointed sub-triangular shaped knops, which are generally sharper than the usual crimped tool. The hollow conical 'handle' or body is also unusual, in that many jiggers from this period had slender solid cast handles or would have fit into another component rather than accommodating the component; a small …

A cast copper alloy object, possibly the terminal of a handle of post medieval date (c. AD 1700 - 1800). A square sectioned shaft broadens into a cone or horn, decorated with incised lines, from which emerge two serpentine necks, with a flattened D-shaped section, each curving outwards then recurving to form an anchor-shaped hook or handle. The terminals are zoomorphic with dragonesque or aquiline heads. Feathers or scales are represented by incised lines, as are the eyes and nostrils. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The shaft tapers and terminates in an old break. …

Incomplete cast copper-alloy tool for incising lines on Roman tiles also referred to as a tile comb. The find consists of the lower part of the handle and the comb. In plan the tile comb resembles an inverted T. The handle part of the tool is a rounded hexagon in section which bulges outwards along its upper third and flattens out along its lower third as it becomes the T-bar comb section. The top of the handle section tapers inwards and is then surmounted by a rounded band. This band is hollow and probably once held a wooden handle extension. The T-bar section is flat and the b…

Uni-faced cast lead token or possibly a weight of probable later medieval or post-medieval date (1300-1800). The token / weight is broadly circular in plan. The upper face of the token is decorated with a series of incised patterns incised using rocker-arm techniques or possibly using a tool which creates a zig zag pattern (similar to a pastry jigger). The patterning is irregular possibly suggesting the design was applied by hand. The overall design is irregular with lines being applied in several differing directions. The reverse is plain and flat. The token / weight is a mid grey co…
