Pewter pilgrim's ampulla. This elaborate example is a Canterbury souvenir relating to Thomas Becket and probably dating to circa 1170-1220.

A cast lead alloy toy plate dating to the 1640’s. The plate is both damaged around the outside edge (flange) and is suffering from corrosion which leads much of the surface design to be undecipherable. The plate is flat, with a broad flat flange, which has some residual evidence of scroll decoration. In the centre of the plate is a five petelled double rose surrounded by a foliate scroll.

Cast lead alloy possible toy plate, dating to the 17th century. The plate is damaged around the outside edge, and there is four ridges radiating from the centre of the plate giving and indication that the plate was folded at some point after its original use had cessed. That plate is plate, with a peletted edge. The central design is a five petelled double rose, surrounded by radiating concentric circles. There appears to be further decoration within these concentric circles but due to corrosion this is no longer decipherable.
