The working life of Museum of London

Each month LAARC runs an Object Of The Month competition. Three artefacts are taken from the archive’s stores and put up for public vote to decide which goes on display in the Archive’s temporary exhibition case.

Competitions take place during the final week of each month. The winning object for this month will be announced on Friday 2nd May.

This month’s choices are all lead based alloys dating from the 16th & 17th Century.

1) From Abbot’s Lane (ABO92), a seed trough that would have hung on a bird cage

2) From Braidwood Street (BRA88), a decorated child’s finger whistle

3) From Abbots Lane (ABO92), a engraved spoon, with the maker’s mark, IG

1) 2) 3)
