Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead spindle whorl. Cast plano-convex or conical whorl with one flat side and a central moulded aperture tapering from an upper diameter of 8.2mm to a basal diameter of 6.8mm, cf. Walton Rogers form A2. The sides of the whorl are lightly circumferentially ribbed. Patinated. The spindle hole size might admit a Roman or Anglo-Saxon date while its mass could permit this object to be used to spin a fine yarn. The lipping of the upper surface as cast may show it was made in an open mould. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Early Medieval, 43-850 Diameter: 20.9mm, Thickness: 8.4mm, Weight: 13.10gms

Lead hem wight. Cast discoid weight with a central sunken panel on one side wherein lie three drilled stitching holes. The metal retains a grey tint suggesting a recent date. Though probably most are of Victorian date, these objects continue to be sold today for crafts. The provision of three holes rather than the usual pair is an unusual feature; this is also a little larger than normal for the type.

Copper alloy mount. Cast concavo-convex naturalistically modelled mask of a maned lion with luxuriant tresses and ‘beard’ arranged in a sub-rectangular form to frame jowels, nose and brows projecting in strongly moulded relief. Extensive gilding traces appear on the display side. Two drilled holes of diameter 6mm appear at either end of the mouth, with a further blind pit behind the nose. The former features might be apt to the pouring of liquid from a vessel; the object is of a distinct type from those considered as Roman box mounts or funereal fittings, if indeed it is of…

Lead weight. Cast pyramidal four-sided weight with a flat facet between each of its four sides and round its flat square base, and with a central longitudinal moulded aperture of diameter 3.8mm. Lightly patinated. The mass does not figure in a series recorded from medieval London (Egan 1998), and nor does it closely correspond to subdivisions of either Roman or post-medieval systems of measurement. The object might represent five ounces of 29.2gms under the medieval Tower system used for silver and bread – as the closest correspondence noted for it. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman…
