Object type: BELL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Published
Copper alloy post-medieval cast spherical ('crotal') bell. It has been cast in one piece and is still complete. The attachment loop is square with a circular perforation. The two halves of the bell are separated by a raised median ridge. The upper half has two circular sound holes on opposite sides. The lower half has a sound slot with circular terminals. Cast spherical bells were used as animal bells over a long period of time in the same style, so precise dating is not possible; it probably dates to the 17th to 19th centuries.

Object type: CARVING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Published
A carved stone head, in a light grey coloured stone, possibly limestone. It is carved only on one face with a near-triangular face, triangular nose, heavy almond-shaped eyes and rather gash-like mouth. The other faces are rough and not carved into, it appears that this stone was made to go into a wall. This head was found under the floorboards of a house with two 19th century medicine jars (LVPL-5587A5) and so it is likely that it dates to around that time. However it is very hard to date these type of finds precisely. This style of carving could be attributed to the 'Celtic h…

Workflow stage: Published
Lead or gun-metal cast of a Sestertius of Orbiana, wife of Severus Alexander (222-35AD). Type as RIC IV, pt. 2, p. 122, no. 657. It is hard to say whether this is a contemporary or modern copy. Cast coins were produced in the 3rd century, often called "Limesfalsa", singular "Limesfalsum". However, this piece is apparently not made from copper alloy, but from a lead or zinc based alloy. To make a more considered judgement, the Finds Adviser would need to see this coin.
