Staff at Melton Carnegie Museum recently uncovered some hidden treasures while having a clean up.
In January the museum closed for a few days so staff could sort through several artefacts that had been packed away unseen for years.
Among the items found were a Bronze Age cremation urn. This was found in Sproxton and contained the cremated remains of a young woman.
It's now back on show, alongside more than 50 other newly-displayed pieces.
These include an Anglo-Saxon sword pommel cap, which was found by a metal detectorist in Scalford in 2016. It was bought by the county council and has been cleaned up and now put on display for the first time.
A charity says a foal that was left to die may be linked to other horses dumped earlier this year.
