Record ID: SF-69468E
Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk

An incomplete lead hooked tag of probable Early Medieval date. It consists of a circular boss with two pierced attachment loops, the hook is missing, with iron corrosion present around a circular hole in the disc. Decoration comprises a prominent boss in the centre of three sets of double-line in counter-relief. Hooked tags manufactured from lead are very uncommon, and it is possible it is a mould rather than a finished tag. Similar examples can be found on PAS (see NMS-412B7B). There is also a similar example with similar decorative motif made of lead from Cod…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead complete possible Viking gaming piece. It is oval in cross-section, with a copper-alloy rod in the centre, it has a flat, mis-shapen base. It tapers towards its upper terminal end. A similar, solid, possible gaming piece has been found at Long Melford, Suffolk see SF-C01997, Little Wilbraham, Cambridgehsire see SF-50B784, and two hollow very simliar examples have also been found at Little Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire, see SF-6F5256 and SF-6F7361. An alternative function of these objects would have been as weights rather than gaming pieces.

Lead spindle whorl. Cast cylindrical whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 11.2mm, either miscast or more probably part-melted, Walton Rogers form B. Eight wide radial cuts or grooves appear on one side of the whorl: this texture or decoration has recently been noted as a most unusual feature of another whorl reported recently from the immediate vicinity. The spindle hole size could admit an Anglo-Scandinavian date. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 1000-1100

Lead possible net sinker. A weight made by rolling a sub-rectangular scrap of cast sheet lead, probably achieving a slightly overlapping seam though this is now disrupted, perhaps by removal of the object from the selvedge of a net or, given that it is lighter than many formal parallels, from a fishing line, as is kindly suggested by the finder. At nearby Flixborough, tubular lead net weights were dated to the Middle Saxon period. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 700-850

Spindle whorls of this type are illustrated in Walton Rogers, 2007, Cloth and Clothing in early Anglo-Saxon England, page 25. Form A1 whorls are thought to date from AD 500 - 1000, but the size of the central hole suggests an early to mid Saxon date.
