A complete copper alloy probably modern mount or button. It is oval in shape with a flat recessed reverse that has a small hole at either end revealling a hollow interior. The outer face has a moulded rectangle in the centre with two raised transverse lines across one side creating a sewn effect.

An incomplete copper alloy modern female figurine, probably from a pipe tamper. The figure is standing with her arms up holding the folds of a long flowing dress. Her outfit and hair appear Classical or perhaps east Asian in style, but are also reminiscent of early 20th century fashions perhaps suggesting a similar date for the piece. There is a break at the figure's feet where it was probably attached to the rest of a tamper, although it may also have been part of a spoon or similar object. Several similar pipe tampers featuring female figures in flowing garments and Classical sty…

An incomplete copper alloy object, with a head which is cuboid, square in cross-section and faceted, and a stem which is circular in cross-section and bent out of shape. Total length: 14.57mm, width of head: 6.5 x 6.8mm, thickness of stem: 3.09mm, weight: 2.66g. Although this resembles a pin of Cool's (1990, 164) group 15, it is more likely to be a modern hook, perhaps for a coat or strings for a blind, etc. Compare NLM-B5DF46, LVPL-4CF45C, LEIC-B30068, SF-D59BA6. Probably 19th or 20th century.
