Record ID: NLM-583CB2
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possibly a talisman, a flat oval object made from white metal - perhaps made from a later medieval penny or halfpenny coin, though no sign to identify it remains - with a circular suspension hole of diameter 4.3mm close to one edge. Particular coins might be selected for suspension because of their political or religious associations - as with those of the notably pious Lancastrian Henry VI ('martyred' in 1471) - though the custom continued into the Post-Medieval period with piercing or folding of coins as 'love tokens'. Length: 15.69mm, Width: 14.33mm, Thickness: 0.66mm, Weight: 0.97g.

Silver unidentified object fragment. A curved fragment of drawn wire, describing about one quarter of an arc of estimated diameter 20mm and itself of thickness/diameter 2.4mm, with a rhomboid plate soldered to one end. The plate bears a probably stamped quatrefoil or wide-armed cross. Possibly, to judge from its size, from a small annular or penannular brooch. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1350. Given the suspected age and material, this object is to be submitted to the Treasure process, Ref. 2017 T1117.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A silver medieval strap-end, made from sheet metal folded lengthways (see Egan and Pritchard, no. 605, page 131). The tapering form of the strap-end terminates in an angular knop of sub-acorn type. The surface of the front of the strap-end is decorated at its widest place with a saltire cross, incised with a grooved border. On the reverse is evidence of the remains of a rivet, which would have held the fabric or leather in place.
The strap-end is silver, and dates from around 1350-1400 (see Egan and Pritchard above).
Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimu…

Silver strap end. A small cast rectangular box chape with a flat lug at its outer end and a rectangular field with the letter S in Gothic style viewed against a crudely cross-hatched ground on its display side – the ground having been executed as embellishment of the cast letter. The back plate is plain. A rivet of diameter 3mm and length 4.3mm passes through the box and attaches it to a textile strap which remains preserved within the chape and is now of a dull buff tint. The suspected age and material dictate the submission of this object to the Treasure process, ref. 2024 T336…

Silver gilt spoon fragment. Two piece terminal from a spoon. The stem is of silver, of hexagonal section, and is broken towards its bowl end leaving a visible length of 23mm. Its union with a figurative terminal union is slightly angled, possibly from an attempt to remove the figure or other adventitious damage. The end is inserted into a column base supporting a naturalistically modelled Virgin and Child, of height c.20mm. The Virgin is robed and wimpled, with a prominent fold of the robe passing diagonally across the front of her body. She cradles Jesus in the crook of her left arm.…

Silver and gemstone seal matrix. Cast oval plate with a central oval collet retaining a smokey blue stone intaglio bearing an incised design depicting a horned animal with lowered head, possibly a grazing goat. A circumferential legend reads (reversed) +S CRVCIS, meaning The Holy Cross (or 'Saint Cross'), the letters being preceded by a cross potent and followed by five scattered commas filling a vacant space. A separately cast strip of metal is soldered to the back, bent to form a suspension loop. Devotion to The Cross continued throughout the Middle Ages, with three feast days linke…

Silver seal matrix. Cast circular matrix on a tapered and facetted hexagonal section handle which rises to an angular triple collar and a flat-sided trefoil loop. An oval link formed by the bending of a tiny bar with expanded ends is secured at the loop by a rivet of length 6.2mm with burred ends. A tiny facetted D-section ring of diameter 6mm with a flat-sided hemispherical ‘bezel’ is threaded through the link. The matrix itself bears the central motif of a finely and deeply engraved heraldic heater-shaped shield of Arms. The arms are halved: on the right [on an impression, thoug…

Silver seal matrix, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast oval plate with a central circular setting with upstanding rim. Behind this apparent setting two addorsed crescents appear as cut-outs in a back plate, which is actually integral to the matrix itself. At first sight, this seems to indicate the loss of a central stone, but when an impression is taken, the pair of crescents are carried over clearly. A circumferential legend in strongly defined inscribed letters reads: +AVE MARIA GRA PLENA [hail Mary, full of grace], which is the opening line of the prayer, the Hail Mary, deriv…

Report on Potential Treasure for HM Coroner
2014 T19
Parish/County: Elkington, Lincolnshire
Fragment of a medieval silver-gilt circular mount with traces of an engraved Black Letter inscription which may represent the "C" or "S" from IHC or IHS, the first three letters of the name "Jesus" in Greek. The decorated area consists of a punched field within a narrow border. The punched field is gilded; the letter itself and the border are reserved in silver.
A comparable complete mount is at TAR 2004 No 217 (2004 T279).
The mount fragment dates to the late 14th or 1…

Silver pendant, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast cruciform pendant comprising a central circular panel with four symmetrically arranged arms, of which three with pellet ends remain. The lost part of the fourth arm is thought to have included a suspension loop. Each side of the panel bears neatly incised cross-hatched decoration, with four lines in one direction crossed by five in the other. The finder kindly suggests a 13th-century date. Its small size suggests that wearing the pendant was a private act, as it is too small to be considered an assertive badge of beliefs which w…

Silver mount. Cast plate in the form of a cross potent, now roughly folded and flattened. The motif might be apt to the decoration of the cover of a missal, breviary or reliquary. A symbol resembling two conjoined lozenges is stamped into the bar at the end of one of the arms. When combined with smaller similar crosses in its angles, this symbol would become the Cross of Jerusalem, the badge of that Crusader kingdom - the military Orders held extensive lands in eastern England, though their local importance was primarily economic. This object is to be considered as Treasure on account…

Silver mount. Rectangular plate of thickness 1.1mm with one long scalloped edge, neatly folded in half. Incised decoration comprises a doubled border of short slashes following the scalloped edge, and a series of three discrete panels. The first panel (reading left to right) portrays a lis. The second, narrower, panel bears three images one above the other: uppermost may be an heraldic lion rampant left; over an heraldic shield possibly charged with three balls or pellets; and the lowest resembles a facing bust. The third element of decoration comprises curvilinear fronds. In all case…

Silver mount. Cast rectangular openwork mount comprising a central rhomboid with a knopped loop on each of its four sides. A pair of integrally cast rivets of diameter 2.4mm and length 1.2mm with burred ends project from the back. Presumably for a belt, perhaps complementing a silver buckle suite. The finder kindly notes the fan-like pattern of fine lines on the back: these are deemed to indicate the use of a mould made of cuttlefish bone. Comparable white metal [lead/tin alloy] mounts from London are dated to 1400-1450 (Egan 1991, 205, fig. 129 nos 1112-1113), this is perhaps an …

Silver mount. Cast mount in the form of a naturalistically modelled crowned, veiled and robed Madonna holding the infant Christ. The function of the object is indicated by a possibly separate round section rivet of diameter 1.5mm and protruding length 3.5mm with a lightly burred end which is set centrally on the flat back. The back is bevelled at the foot end of the figure, suggesting an expansion here of the object to which the mount was attached The robes are naturalistically modelled with a dominant flattened S-shaped curve to draw the eye from top to bottom of the figure.

Six worn late medieval coins, mostly pennies with their weight reduced by clipping, found within an area of c.15m square. The latest coin [as discerned by this reporter] is no. 2 below, an early (1485-1490) issue of Henry VII (1485-1509), in much the same sorry state as the rest of the group. Given their discovery within a restricted area, they are deemed probable components of a small hoard, perhaps equivalent in their contemporary monetary value to a single day's wage for a skilled workman. They are accordingly submitted to the Treasure process, reference 2019 T365.
