Stamped lead sealing cap for a bottle or other vessel. The stamped design is in the form of a sun with central circle and radiating triangles. Inside the circle is a face with two pellets for eyes, each with a central dot and an oval mouth. There are horizontal lines above the eyes. The whole motif is divided by a line. The edges of the cap are folded down to form a lip 8mm long and the whole object is flattened and distorted. NMS-9F24B3, LON-B38BE4 and WMID-5EEF39 all appear to have the same design.

A medieval finger-ring bezel in the shape of an angel holding a heart. It measures 12.57mm in height, 14.16mm in width and weighs 2.69g.

A finger ring with a very similar bezel has been found in Kingston Deverill, Wiltshire (WILT-2C75F1).
