County: Redcar and Cleveland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead Medieval spindle whorl. Circular in plan with a central circular perforation. It is biconical with cast decoration on both faces. One side has diagonal lines from the centre to the edge, creating triangular cells, inside of each of which there is a circular pellet. The other side is slightly less clear, almost looking like a repeating pattern of VIVIVI all the way around. There are examples of spindle whorls with writing and pseudo-writing on, this could be another one.

Object type: HARNESS PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Redcar and Cleveland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy Medieval harness pendant, c. 1200- 1400. The pendant is shield shaped in plan, with the broken attachment set perpendicular at the top. On the front face there is the top half of an X in red enamel, which would have filled the field. The rest of the field was probably either enamelled in another colour, or gilded. There is a layer of what could be corroded enamel but it no longer has any colour. The reverse is plain. The hanger is T-shaped in plan, the terminal being bifurcated with holes in each end, to allow a bar to hold the pendant in place (the bar is now …

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Redcar and Cleveland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy Medieval vessica shaped seal matrix. The front of the seal has a central motif with the inscription around the edge. It is mostly complete but the edges are broken and so most of the inscription is missing, the only section remaining reads 'BENED'[ICT..]. The motif is religious in nature, showing a central figure under an arch (probably a saint), meant to represent being inside a church. Underneath is a small figure kneeling and praying to the central figure. The central figure is holding things in both hands but it is not clear exactly what, possibly an o…

Object type: MACE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Redcar and Cleveland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy late Medieval macehead. It consists of a cast, hollow cylinder of copper alloy, with three rows, each of four pyramid-shaped spikes at the top of the mace. Each of the rows is offset 90 degrees from the adjacent row. As is usual for these maceheads, the upper and lower rows are of half-pyramid-shaped spikes, while those on the central row are of full pyramid shape. Few examples have been found in excavated contexts, but this example probably dates to around the 14th century. Their military function is less than assured; Daubney (forthc…
