Cast lead Russian oval hemp seal with two sub-rectangular slots opposite each other on each side of the seal, which would have allowed the sealing cord to pass through the seal and attach it to the bale of cloth.

Cast lead alloy bird feeder or water trough, flattened so that both sides now meet, when it would have originally been D-shaped in plan. One side would have been flat to fit flush with the wall or the side of the cage. The base of the feeder would have been flat and the body would have flared upward from the base, with a flanged rim. Most of the rim is now missing and what is left is torn at the edge where it would have flanged outwards, above a raised moulded band that runs around the circumference of the feeder.

Incomplete cast copper alloy spur, in two parts, with one attachment terminal having broken off in antiquity but still surviving with the find.
