Silver and copper alloy thimble. Sheet metal thimble, probably made by hammering over a former, of conical form with a copper alloy top soldered onto the top. Decoration of the lower half of the wall comprises a series of leaves framed by and springing from tendrils of zig zag rockered work, all within paired band borders of finely punched or rouletted dots. The veins of the leaves are rendered by hand-punched slashes, with supplementary shading of finely spaced diagonal lines of smaller dots. The series is interrupted by a framed initial letter hand-inscribed in flowing calligraphic …

Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800 Length (as found): 63.4mm, Width: 24.8mm, Thickness (lower stem): 1.7mm, Weight: 10.92gms

Silver spoon. A cast teaspoon with spatulate down-turned terminal to a tapered handle with a thin rib extending below its leaf-shaped bowl.

Silver spoon. A cast silver teaspoon with a thin stem expanding towards a rounded end topped with a half-oval and ending with a flat sub-rectangular terminal at right angles to the stem. The stem continues as a flat sub-triangular rib below the proximal end of an oval bowl. Hallmarks appear in three panels: from left to right they are a lower case seriffed letter U in a square frame; a facing leopard's head in a heater-shield-shaped panel; and a lion walking left in a rectangular panel with two indentations in its upper and lower edges.
