An incomplete Post-Medieval cast lead Mount /Brooch, circa AD1600-AD1850. A circular, slightly convex object which has part of its bottom edge missing. It has a decorated border of a repeated design, comprising two lozenges and a trefoil. In the centre a cross, with a floral design within its angles. A two leaved petalled flower in each of its larger angles, and two branches of a fern like appearance in the lower angle.

A cast lead object, possibly a token or similar object and of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is missing part of one side due to old breaks.

This comprises an outer border with short diagonal strokes, followed by an inner circular border that contains a trefoil or quatrefoil motif with central pellet, its precise form uncertain due to old breaks. The back face of the object is flat, undecorated and has a transverse casting seam but no apparent means of attachment that might indicate usage as…

A flat fragment of lead with what appears to be a worn, unintentional hole in it. The fragment may have been a large quatrefoil in plan; there is a concave perimeter groove on one side resembling the decoration seen on Early Medieval trefoil brooches. There is a possibility that this is a lead copy of a trefoil brooch.

Record ID: LIN-DE96A2
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of a lead unidentified object. The object is flat and currently plano-convex in plan. The curved end is complete and an original feature, and is decorated with three sub-triangular openwork cells. The 'broken' end flattens out into what looks to have been a flat circular central body which is decorated with a worn rope-like design. The object may originally have had three or four rounded arms set around a central circular body, perhaps indicating its function as a mount or as a lead trefoil brooch or brooch pattern.

Medieval Nummular brooch, relief decoration on face, reverse with stumps of broken catch-plate aligned with outer edge and damaged transverse catch-plate. The basic design is relatively generic on pennies from the 11th to the 12th centuries. The nearest parallel, however, is to reverses of William I's Profile/Cross and trefoils type penny (North 847) dated to the early 1080s. William II's Profile type is also very similar and also close in date (North 851; late 1080s). Other types are similar but have a voided cross which this brooch does not. Thus, on the balance of probabilities, th…
