Two cast lead alloy livery badges, each with a silver or tin coating. The badges are in the form of a dog (possibly a Talbot) facing left with one forepaw raised. The dog sits on a heraldic cushion. On the back are four integral attachment rivets. Dating is uncertain. The fact that they are made from lead alloy suggests a post medieval date but similar examples in other metals are much earlier (eg WAW-48AAB3).
