It appears constructed from a copper alloy, measuring approximately 114 mm by 102 mm, being 52 mm in thickness. The open face of the item exhibits a circular central lug or axle measuring c. 38 mm in diameter, which extends c. 25 mm from the solid rear face. The open face bears a circular aperture, comprising approximately 270 degrees, which flairs out towards the outer edges of the object meeting the top left hand corner on the left side and meeting the edge on the right hand side approximately 25 mm from the upper edge. This circular aperture, with the lug at its centre, has a diameter of c. 95 mm. The interior of the object is not recessed beneath the edges of the aperture and therefore forms a a solid shape between the solid and open faces, conforming to the circumference of the aperture. The solid face, presumably forming the rear of the object, is approximately 6 mm thick. The outline of what may be a screw hole for affixing is visible 3 - 4 mm from the top edge just to right of centre on the solid face. The object has 3 closed and one open side, where the circular aperture flairs outwards. Of the closed sides two are straight, running at right angles to the opens side, with the remaining closed side opposite the open side being slightly curved. This slightly more aesthetically pleasing element may indicate that this is in fact the top edge of the object.\n\nThe intended function of the item is not immediately apparent, though clearly something is intended to either run through the object or pivot around the central lug. Though no firm identification has been established the suggested functions include a bearing case, a rail mount, a hinge pivot or a cable relay.", "notes":"This item was found with pepper pot (MAS-D100190).", "classification":"TRANSPORT", "periodFrom":39, "periodTo":41, "TID":"118\/18", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2018-06-03T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"VESSEL COMPONENT", "currentLocation":"With finder", "created":"2018-06-21T20:58:32Z", "updated":"2020-03-26T13:10:03Z", "height":102, "secuid":"193", "thickness":51, "width":114, "quantity":1, "material":7, "completeness":4, "discovery":15, "recorderID":"PAS5C5037EF001C03", "createdBy":2, "countyID":2625, "county":"East Sussex", "fourFigure":"TV7689", "fourFigureLat":50.67405623, "fourFigureLon":0.48951592, "what3words":"undersigned.participation.rapidity", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Copper alloy", "primaryMaterialBM":10627, "completenessTerm":"Complete", "periodFromName":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "periodToName":"MODERN", "discoveryMethod":"Diving", "filename":"193_193_IMG_01.JPG", "thumbnail":465, "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "recorder":"PT", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:16:59.013Z" }, { "findIdentifier":"finds-192", "id":192, "old_findID":"MAS-D100192", "objecttype":"PERSONAL ACCESSORY", "broadperiod":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "description":"One gold T piece to believe part of a watch chain.

This 1847 minted coin was created for standard circulation and measures 27 mm in diameter with a weight of 16.72 grammes, the coin is minted in an alloy of 90% gold and 10% copper. It is of a type known as a Coronet Head - Eagle, based on the depictions on each face. The head side shows a side profile of lady liberty wearing a coront inscribed with the word \"LIBERTY\", the obverse bearing a spread eagle with a crest upon it and the words \"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TEN D.\" inscribed around the circumference of the coin. The edge of the coin is finished with a pattern known as reeding. A total of 862,258 of these coins were minted in 1847 and these are considered to be of high value due to their rarity. Another batch of coins was produced in the same year but bear the letter O below the eagle on the obverse face (https:\/\/en.numista.com\/catalogue\/pieces16125.html accessed 10 March 2020).

In consultation with Wessex Archaeology finds specialist, Lorraine Mepham, this item has been identified as a 19th century Toby jug pepper pot figure, probably dating to around 1840 - 1860. For some unknown reason the figurine has lost most of its colour, as it's more usual to see these figures with different coloured clothing to go with the blue jacket. Research has found that these are commonly known as \"Staffordshire\" Toby pepper pots and that the figure is actually holding a mug of ale. It should have a hole in the bottom where the cork would have been placed once filled.
