Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper-alloy bracelet of Roman date that has probably been re-used as a finger ring. Both terminals of the bracelet are missing. The breaks are patinated.

On the front face it has decoration comprising of a single, central longitudinal groove that runs the length of the object until it nears the tapered end. To either side of the central groove are opposing diagonal grooves. T…

A copper alloy incomplete Roman brooch of Hod Hill type dating from AD 43 - AD 70. Only the upper half of the brooch survives.

Object type: HARNESS PENDANT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy Medieval pendant in the form of a bird, perhaps a hawk. The pendant is probably a harness pendant but is smaller than th other examples on the database. It has a broken suspension loop at the top, which also represents the bird's head. The bird is displayed with spread wings and tail, but unlike many of the eagle pendants recorded, the head is not turned to one side, nor is it double. The pendant is similar to but smaller than IOW-B5BDA3 which notes several references. GLO-C03D14 is another interesting parallel which records the use of a bird shaped pendant on an annula…

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast lead alloy seal matrix of Medieval date. It has no suspension loop or lug, and there are no apparent breaks. The edges are rounded and worn. The seal is pointed-oval in form, trapezoidal in section and with moulded decoration on the back face. This matrix is unusual in that it seems to have no trace of any legend or decorative motif on the front face, suggesting it may be a blank that has yet to be carved. The moulded design is of a plant with two leaves near the base, two possible flowers, one at each side, and three buds at the top. This design could also be …

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An almost complete cast copper alloy mount of post-medieval date. The plate of the mount is heart-shaped and domed, with a concave reverse. Extending from the pointed end of the heart is an open-worked trefoil. The two side lobes are round with holes in the centre, while the central lobe is oval and solid. The front is otherwise undecorated. Projecting from the reverse of the heart are two spikes, one has broken off, while the second points inwards. These attachment spikes help to indicate a 16th or 17th Century date and it is likely that this mount was used as a horse harness …

Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy late Medieval to Post-Medieval thimble dating from about 1450-1550. The thimble is damaged, bent out of shape and its dome is missing. The body has been decorated with a series of large punched triangular pits which have been arranged in five spiral tiers, beginning at the bottom edge of the object, creating a wide border as it spirals upward. Corrosion obscures any possible maker's mark at the start of the spiral. The material has a light-medium green patina. A similar example is SOM-231E57 which is thought to have been designed to be an open thimble o…

Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete unusual double walled copper alloy beehive thimble, probably dating from 1400-1500 AD. It is slightly squashed and there is extensive damage to the rim and one side. Originally it was dome shaped, with no division between crown and sides. Unusually, this thimble either has a double layered wall, or is in fact two thimbles which were stacked one inside the other when deposited. Two closely fitting layers of copper alloy are visible, very noticeably where the upper layer is missing. The punch holes covering the walls and top are small, round and erratically spaced. Th…

The flat panel at the top of the foot is decorated with annulet punches making a border along the top and sides. The base is defined by a double incised line. Lappets project from this area.
