9th-12th century AD. A miniature silver mallet with rectangular head and curved outer face with incised transverse lines, ribbed shaft and loop finial. 1.43 grams, 18mm (3/4"). Property of a German collector; acquired in the 1990s. Cf. Arbman, H. Birka I: Die Gräber, Uppsala, 1940, plate 104, item 2. The hammer, Mjölnir, was the magical weapon of the god Thor. The classic representation is short-handled with a pentagonal head. The present piece resembles the tool used in metalworking with one broad striking face and one narrow.

16th-17th century AD. A mixed group of lead plaques comprising: a discoid pendant with square loop, central boss with concentric rows of pellets, crowned profile bust to the reverse; a similar plaque without a loop, pierced at the centre; a flat-section ovoid plaque with roughly incised outline figure in robes and mitre with surrounding legend in a border '+SIGILLVM SIMONIS EPISCOPI DECONI' (seal of Simon, the bishop's deacon) and similar text and border to the reverse partly obliterated. 219 grams total, 40-85mm (1 1/2 - 3 1/2"). Found County Durham, UK, in the 1980s. Accompanied by typed and signed letter from John Cherry, Deputy Keeper of Medieval and Later Antiquities at the British Museum discussing the text, and summary discussion by Denis Coggins (August, 2003"). The thick (2.75 - 4.5mm) lead plaque bears a clearly executed but enigmatic text. The plaque is too large and too poorly made to have served as a seal. It seems likely that the plaque was a test-piece on which a design was tried out informally for the arrangement of the design elements, before the craftsman committed to the final form for the mould from which to cast the bronze seal matrix. The hammer marks to one face imply that the design was abandoned and the plaque re-used as a convenient lead pad before it was lost or discarded. [No Reserve] Fine condition, pierced disc cracked.

A very well formed ceremonial axe-hammer in a fine-grained pale brown serpentine material showing layers at the sides; with slightly convex cutting edge and waisted taper to oval and domed hammerhead face, with central piercing for hafting. 345 grams, 12.3cm (5"). Property of an Essex gentleman; formerly in a private collection, acquired by descent 1970s. The material from which this axe-hammer is made is not suitable for use as an implement, being quite soft and liable to splitting on the original geological sediment planes and it was thus most probably made for ceremonial rather than practical use; the lack of any usage wear evidence is also suggestive of this. Extremely fine condition. Rare.
