Bees Knees !!!

[robfinds]

The highlight of yesterday's hunt, was not one but two beehive medieval thimbles. The second one the smallest I've seen. These date to around 13th/14th century. You can see why there called beehive thimbles. Also had the usual cut quarter, and a nice kings head medieval leather decoration. A bent Medieval spoon shaped pendant, and buckle also surfaced. robert.

Haaaaa, the usual cut quarter, I'd be jumping around like Ringy and George from diggers!
I recently found the tip of one of those beehive thimbles, I had a feeling that was what it was (thimble) Too bad it is just a fragment. Yours are very cool, love the cut quarter!

Interesting group of Medieval finds. I've never seen a 'Medieval spoon shaped pendant' - is it your first? I've seen similar has horse pendants, but yours does look different. Had a quick look on line, & they are not exactly jumping out at you.

They look a similar size to the 'casket' keys, that we discussed as not functional. I wonder what the significance of the spoon is?

OK, now I see the others, they are classified a horse harness pendants. A small 'swinger' that was in the centre of a larger surround. (I've had a few of these, but a little smaller)

I didn't bother looking for a match, but the above shows how they worked.

There are at least 5 of these spoon pendants recorded on the PAS as horse pendants.
