Object type: GAMING PIECE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two flat lead fish with patterns of raised dots on the upper surface. One of the fish has two parallel vertical lines of dots between the body and the head area. The dots form a border round the edge of the body, with some in the central area. Another dot indicates the eye. The other fish is similar but the patterning is less distinct. The reverses are flat. This was a popular shape for gaming pieces and these may date from the post-medieval period onwards.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two clay pipes. a) Part of the bowl and stem of a clay pipe. The bowl has an oval pedestal and is stamped on the stem side of the bowl with a maker's mark. This is the initials DB in an oval cartouche with a border of lines around the edge. A bulge is visible inside the pipe where it was stamped on the exterior. The bowl is at an angle to the stem. This and the size of the bowl suggests a date from the late seventeenth century (c. 1680 to 1720). b) The bowl of a clay pipe.

Object type: TOY
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flat cast lead alloy head, looking to the left with an elaborate hairstyle or helmet. The profile is flat with a long, high nose and a prominent brow and eye. There may be an indication of a moustache and beard. The possible helmet is tipped back on the head and has a scrolling border with cross-hatching behind. There is a small perforation in the corner of the eye, possibly not intentional. The style of the figure appears classical or neo-classical but the toy resembles those produced in the post-medieval period or later.

Object type: HAMMER
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Iron sledge hammer head with remains of wooden handle in situ. The hammer head is octagonal in section with one tapered, pointed end and one flat circular end. The ends are damaged, probably from use (the circular end extensively). The handle socket through the centre of the head is oval. The hammer head is broadest at this part and is waisted before flaring out again to form the circular end. On the surface of one side are a series of small square punch marks, apparently in a rough pattern that appears to read 10B. This type of hammer was used for ironworking.
