Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Unidentified object, possibly designed to serve as a seal. The item consists of a sub-oval lead plate with three incomplete prongs projecting from one edge. The reverse has an incised oval line around the perimeter and the front has the impression of the obverse of a coin of Queen Anne, a guinea or shilling based on the size showing a bust of Queen Anne with ANNA DEI GRATIA (in reverse) inscribed around. Several examples of such lead coin impressions are already recorded on the PAS database but their use is not certain. They could be seals, tokens, weights or moulds. This one h…

A complete lead-alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date but probably later Medieval to post Medieval. The spindle whorl is circular in plan and bi-convex in section with a central sub-circular aperture with irregular edges on both faces but of approximately 8-9mm on both faces. One face is decorated with a pattern of raised lines with pellets between and the other face has a design of raised linear lines, possibly pseudo-lettering or lettering that is now illegible. The dating of unstratified spindle whorls is very difficult and this one has been dated provisionally as Medieval to …

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Undated lead-alloy probable weight, possible of uncertain date. The weight is bun-shaped (like a doughnut) being a flattened spherical shape with a circular opening (8mm diameter) which is depressed around the edges on both faces so that the hole is hour-glass shaped in section. Such simple lead weights are notoriously difficult to date and may have served a number of weight-related tasks, not just loom related.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead uniface token dating to the period AD 1250 to 1800. The object is flat and sub-circular in plan and decorated on one side with a pattern of raised lines and pellets possibly intended to be a crown or illegible initials. Lead tokens are difficult to date precisely and could be Medieval to Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD). The majority of lead tokens are thought to date to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, c. 1600-1800 as increasing numbers of dated tokens are found. The thickness of this particular 'token' (5mm) could indicate use as a weight but the present …

A complete lead-alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date but probably later Medieval to post Medieval. The spindle whorl is circular in plan and bi-convex in section with a large central sub-circular aperture (9.7mm on one face and 9.2mm on the opposite face). One face is decorated with a raised pattern of a four-pointed star with a single pellet within each apex and the other face is decorated with a very similar design with the addition of pellets in the angles and pellets at the joins between the arms of the star. The dating of unstratified spindle whorls is very difficult and th…

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but worn large flat circular chunky lead alloy probable seal. The reverse of the seal is plain and the front carries an indecipherable inscription around the perimeter which starts with an initial cross and a central design which consists of a cross design with a fleur de lys in each angle. The centre of this cross may have formed the attachment point for this seal to an item such as a document and this possible attachment point is also visible on the reverse. This seal has been dated broadly to the later Medieval period as c.1200-1500.

A damaged and incomplete lead alloy probable plaque or possible trade weight dating from the Medieval to Post Medieval period, c.1300-1800 . The item is flat, and either square or shield shaped - it is distorted through damage. The plaque is divided into four quarters by a raised long cross and an outer raised rim. The content of only one quarter survives and is the letter I (or J). For an example of a shield shaped weight with a different design see: SWYOR-0F40D4 dated AD 1300 - 1500. The lettering on the item is more indicative of a post Medieval date, hence the reason for the…

County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified lead-alloy uniface disc of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date. The item is a flat sub-circular disc with an incised decoration of a heavily stylised crown with a circular piercing to either side of the crown design. The item weighs 18.6g which does not correspond to any readily identifiable weights in the imperial system but may have served as an ad hoc weight not used as a measure such as a cloth (hem) weight. Possible uses apart from weight include token, simple seal matrix, or gaming counter. Lead alloy discs carrying such simple designs are very difficult t…

Lead alloy fragment of a probable Medieval pilgrim badge, secular badge, pendant or similar souvenir type ornament. The fragment is plain and flat on the reverse and the front carries a moulded design of a facade of buildings with spired towers/turrets and arched windows between. The closest parallel to this fragment identified in Brian Spencer's 'Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges', 1998, is a pendant in the form of a purse which has a facade of buildings above the purse bar. See p.314-317, fig. 314a. An alternative suggestion is that the fragment is part of a toy item dating…

A complete lead alloy uniface weight or possible token of Medieval to Post Medieval date. The item is a chunky sub-oval disc with a raised design of a long cross with a single pellet in each angle on one face, the reverse being plain. It is larger than a typical token hence the reason it is suggested it may be a weight, It should also be noted that the item weighs 14.1g which closely correlates to half an ounce. Lead tokens & weights carrying this design are very difficult to date and it is therefore dated broadly c.1250-1800 pending better research into such artefacts.
