Object type: SEAL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy object, perhaps originally cylindrical and in the form of a lid, with a lead or solder filling. The object bears the image of a horse prancing to the left. A very similar object is SUR-B69547 and another close parallel was recovered during excavations at Woking Palace. The precise purpose is not clear but it appears to have acted as some form of seal, perhaps for a bottle or other container. The date is likely to be in the period c.1750-1900.

Record ID: SUR-B0A2D9
Object type: INGOT
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of an ingot of light brown/yellow gold. The fragment has a rounded rectangular section and bears many hammering facets, mainly on the slightly convex upper face. There are a number of facetted hollows, particularly on the lower, concave surface, perhaps from its being held in a vice. Both broken ends are left rough. Such objects are difficult to date. And wide date range of Iron Age to early medieval seems reasonable.
