With flat oval cross-section stem, tapering very slightly from the bowl and ending in a simple ball seal knop; a maker's mark in the form of a Tudor rose within a circular border stamped within the bowl, adjacent to the stem. Cf. similar spoon in PAS, SOM-7C2A26. 48 grams, 17 cm (6 3/4 in.). Spoons with this type of knop date from the 16th century A.D. The knop, when bearing an owner's initial, could be used as a seal.

14th-16th century A.D.. Comprising: a snaffle bit with single bar and an iron stirrup in a form of elongated D, with an oval-shaped loop at the top, wide openwork footrest slightly curved forward, with decoration at the sides. Cf. Bailey, G., Detector finds 5, Witham, 2002, fig.7, p.31, for the 14th century snaffle bit; fig.5a-b-c, p.39, for the 15th-16th iron stirrup. 467 grams total, 18.5-26 cm (7 1/4 - 10 1/4 in.). Snaffle bits have not altered very much in their design over the centuries. Medieval snaffle bits have survived in reasonable numbers, although they are still rare. A number of different designs are known for them. Some had a plain straight bar serving as the mouth piece, like our example. The 15th-16th century stirrup shows an interesting decoration at the sides of the footrest.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.

7th-15th century A.D.. Comprising socketted spearheads or javelin heads with small lanceolate and lozenge-shaped heads, lentoid in section; one with a split socket and fastening rivet, another with the fastening hole for the shaft still in situ. Bailey, G., Detector Finds 5, Witham, 2002, p.61, fig.7 & 10, for two examples. 286 grams total, 14.5-19.5 cm (5 3/4 - 7 3/4 in.). The distinction between the early medieval lance and spear is difficult, However the lance (or the javelin), normally employed by mounted warriors, had a small slender and stouter blade, and a short wider socket. Both the spear and javelins could be used as throwing weapons by the 14th-15th century light cavalry, like the Spanish Jinetes.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.
