A worn lead alloy token of post-medieval date. The token is sub-circular in plan with a spur from the mould still retained on one outer edge. The token is bifacial, having moulded decoration on either face. One face has a raised outer border with an indistinct design; it may be a cross with splayed terminals, possibly windmill sails, a motif that does appear on lead alloy tokens of this perid. The design on the other side of the token is harder still to decipher; it may be initials but the token is too worn and distorted on this face to be clear. This type of token may be a gaming pie…

Copper alloy cuff link dating from the 17th or early 18th century. What survives is the die stamped disc with a bevelled edge and hollow back which retains a grey-buff material, probably a fixative. The attachment loop on the reverse is missing. The front bears a crown over two hearts against a cross-hatched ground. It is possible that the cross-hatching, rather than being an ornamental background, was the roughened surface to hold, e.g. enamel. The motif is traditionally associated with the marriage of Charles II (1660-1685) to Catherine of Braganza, but was probably more widely rega…
