Record ID: NMS-08D167
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete openwork lead-alloy mount with iron rivet. The mount is flat, and the surviving part consists of part of a circular frame with a pointed projection or terminal. The frame is a low D shape in cross-section, and surrounds a trefoil plant with stem rising from the area by the terminal. The trefoil has a larger central leaf and smaller side leaves; all are roughly rounded, and the central one is now bent. The iron rivet projects from the flat reverse of the terminal to a total thickness of 7.3mm.
The object is rather mis-cast, with seams and flashes uncleaned, a…

Object type: TOY
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a lead-alloy toy of 16th- to 19th-century date, apparently originally a female figure with a wheel rather than feet.
Only the skirt of the figure survives, with curved sides and a straight hem. This is seen in profile, and is two sheets thick as if made as a cone and then squashed flat. It is decorated on both faces and is slightly asymmetric. The rear of the woman's skirt is more strongly curved (as if over a bustle) and is decorated with vertical ridges representing pleats. The front falls almost straight from the waist and is at firsrt sight undecorated. A ridged line …

Object type: SPOON
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of lead-alloy spoon of post-medieval date. Part of the bowl and part of the stem (or handle) survive, and the broken edges of the bowl show the crumbly delamination characteristic of a pewter or other lead alloy. The break in the stem is more smoothly patinated.
The stem is basically rectangular in cross-section at the break, with bevelled edges on both front and reverse, and a midrib about 2mm wide on the reverse. The stem flares from the break to a maximum of 10mm wide, then tapers again, but this flare and taper is all within the bevel; the central flat part of the stem…

Object type: TOY
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Complete toy gridiron with fish, made from a lead/tin alloy (pewter) with a patina which is shiny in patches. The gridiron is basically rectangular but slightly trapezoidal, flaring from the handle end; it has six bars of equal thickness and triangular cross-section parallel to the handle, and a similar transverse bar to either end. The longer transverse bar has a backwards-curving hook to either end, one now crushed. The shorter transverse bar, at the handle end, is decorated with oblique ribbing giving a cabled effect. This bar has an angular U-shaped arrangement at either end as if…

Object type: PILGRIM BADGE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Lead-alloy pilgrim's badge depicting St Andrew, now bent in half. An upright rectangular plaque, it has a surviving projection at one lower corner that would originally have extended to a stitching loop; the other three corners are broken. St Andrew is in the centre of the plaque, wearing a striped or pleated gown drawn in at the waist; his limbs are splayed as if attached to an X-shaped cross. He faces the observer, but his face is very crude indeed with two large round eyes, a round nose and two large straight lips filling the whole of the space.
The arms emerge from the gown to…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Terminal from a snake-ring, made from a very greyish soft metal, apparently a lead alloy. The hoop of the ring is circular in cross-section at the break, 3 mm in diameter; it quickly flares out to form a snake's head bezel which is 10 mm wide and 3 mm thick. The head is oval or lozengiform, and is quite stylised, with grooves along the edge on the rear half of the head but no other visible decoration. The head tapers into the hoop with no border between them, and the fragment is strongly curved to fit around the finger.

Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Unusual form of hooked tag. The plate is made from lead alloy, with a tall flat-topped cylindrical central boss around which is a raised circle. Outside the circle the edge is fragmentary, but looks lumpy and may originally have been a ring of pellets. On the reverse is the scar from a missing loop, which ran straight across the upper part of the plate. At the base of the plate is a separate copper-alloy hook, made from circular-section wire and set into a blob of lead alloy. This hooked tag is large, and quite complex in manufacture, yet made from a very cheap alloy. The metal m…
