Broken, Post-Medieval sheet copper alloy tong-like object, possibly a set of pastry crimpers. A 14.2mm wide strip folded back on itself into two arms with a large open loop at the fold. Estimated original length 68mm. One arm is heavily distorted, the other is broken and was found a short distance from the main piece. The edges of both arms are shaped with a series of laterally symmetrical convex and concave cut-outs and the terminal ends are serrated forming seven sharp teeth. The end 13mm of each arm is engraved on its inner face only featuring a cross-hatch lozenge pattern with pun…

Incomplete copper alloy Post Medieval pastry jigger housing or possibly spur rowel box. Two parallel triangular-shaped arms converge in a linear taper to join the narrower sides of a solid rectangular end knop. The integral end knop is formed from three rectangular collars each one slightly smaller than the other. The endmost collar is wider than the preceding two and is has a granular surface at its end, suggesting an old break from the heel of the parent object. The square terminal end of each triangular arm has a central coincident circular axle hole, around which the missing disc …

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 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 …

Post Medieval copper alloy pastry jigger, cutter, or crimper. All that remains is the the cutting wheel. The wheel has radiating grooves and ridges and a serrated zig-zig circumference. There is a central perforation through which an axle passes. A portion of the axle appears to be retained within the perforation.Dates to between c1500 and c1800 AD. The method and style of construction suggest a date earlier in this period. The diameter is 24mm, thickness 3mm, and the weight 6.0g.

A modern, cast copper alloy pastry jigger tool probably dating from the 18th or 19th century. The long cylindrical handle has several raised mouldings, which would have helped the cook hold the object steady. The handle is slightly bent towards the middle. One end of the object has two prongs where a crimping wheel would have fitted. This is now missing. The opposite end of the object terminates, as a T-shape, in a further pastry tool, with a semi-circular, serrated edge. The object has a dark green patina.

An incomplete copper alloy Pastry Jigger of Post-Medieval to Modern date (AD 1700-1850). The object is an inverted T shape. The shaft is oval in cross section with an expanded faceted, ovate knop which terminates in a worn break. The opposing end widens and flattens into the head of the jigger. The shoulders of the head are curved. The junction between the shaft and head is decorated with a deeply incised saltire. The edge has a series of incised V shaped notches running the length of the head. This would have been for cutting and pressing to the pastry. Length: 55.39mm, Width: 42.…
