Lead Medieval papal bulla, of Calixtus II (1119-24).
Obverse; CAL/XTVS/[PP II]
Reverse; [S]PA/ SP[E]; Worn heads of SS Peter and Paul facing each other
Tim Pestell kindly added this information on the bulla 'Calixtus II, elected 2nd February 1119, consecrated 9th Feb and who died on 14th December 1124 (the lettering on Calixtus III's bulla is slightly different). As such this is an important bulla because it is one of the earliest found in Britain. There are three British papal bullae that have been found that pre-date the Norman Conquest, but post-Conquest examples seem to really start with Alexander III (1159-81); this is the first example I have seen of one earlier than Alexander, so it's a rare bird.'

Early Medieval lead weight, Viking in style, sub-circular in plan and domed. It has glass set into the centre of the top face in a sub-rectangular shape. The glass appears to be a fragment cut from a bracelet or bead. It is light blue with strands of red and white running through. The rest of the weight is plain and undecorated. On the sides and base are some small grooves, probably caused by the plough whilst in the ground.
There is a lead weight set with a glass bangle fragment from Dumbarton Rock, Strathclyde where the glass is the usual blue and white of Irish bangles. The red is unusual if it is a bangle fragment but it is difficult to tell whether it is a bead or a bangle fragment.
Susan Youngs has seen a photograph of this object and kindly provided some background information on this object type;
'It was usual for weights like this to have offcuts of some pretty but not valuable metalwork set in them, normally Irish but sometimes Anglo-Saxon, while the lead pieces are a Viking period cultural phenomenon. They are usually thought to be weights and have been found with scales but a mass of lead pieces, many conical, from Gainsborough have been called gaming pieces - another possiblity, board games were popular.'

Early Medieval lead weight, Viking in style; sub-circular in plan, and flat. It has glass set into the top face in a sub-circle. The glass is a light blue colour (although this may be due to deterioration) and has cracked, with a small fragment missing. The edges of the weight are rounded and the sides and bottom are plain and smooth with no marks or decoration.

Early Medieval, Viking, lead weight.
It is circular in plan and flat with a copper alloy plate set on the top face. The copper alloy setting looks like a gilt bronze Irish disc, possibly a stud with the lug removed. In the centre of this is a small circular red stone or perhaps glass. This glass forms the centre of the decoration with three swirls, almost peltate in design coming from the centre. There is then a raised outer rim. In the spaces between are small grooved lines.

Flat circular lead weight. It has two central circular perforations and is slightly bent out of shape. Despite looking like a button, these weights were and are used to weigh down the hems of curtains, and perhaps also skirts. They seem to come into use perhaps in the eighteenth century, and are still available to buy today.
