A Post Medieval lead alloy token, dating to the 17th century. The token is biface, with a crescent moon on one side and the initials TC on the other. The crescent design can be seen on a token dating to the 17th century (Mitchiner and Skinner, 1985, plate 19 no.177). This is therefore a likely date for this token.

A Post Medieval iron hooked mount or escutcheon, dating to the 16th century. The object is ovoid in shape with a small rounded projection at the widest end and a hook projecting from the narrowest end. There are two rivet holes, one at either end of the plate, both of which have the heads of the rivet and part of the shanks still in situ. Based on the curviture of the object it is likely from a vessel, with the hook pointing outwards. The mount has a mid-dark grey pattination with patches of light brown and orange on both sides and some light grey concreted material on the back of the…

An Iron Age copper alloy potin, dating 100-50 BC. This is a Class I potin being circular with a rectangular tab projecting on one side. The obverse depicts a stylised bust, formed of three crescents forming the head and nose, with a ring and dot motif in the centre for the eye. None of the crescents meet. On the reverse is a bull, butting left, with a line below and two crescents above. There appears to be a pellet underneath and connected to the body of the bull.

A fragment of a Medieval lead alloy pilgrim badge, dating to the 15th century. Roughly a quarter of the object remains, which would have originally been circular in shape. The object is decorated on one side only, with a border running around the edge and a foliate design that appears to form an oval shape just within the band.

Below the radiating lines is an open circle, like the symbol om…

Object type: CHAPE

County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete polyhedral chape, probably dating to the Medieval period. The object is formed of a solid cast polyhedral shape with a small rounded projection on one end and an open flaring shank projecting below. The shank has been broken at the base and there is compacted material within. The object has a dark brown pattination.
Similar examples have been found on the PAS database (SWYOR-B1FFB4 and LIN-C71A35), though often made of silver and none have the projection on the top. They can date from the Early Mediteval to Medieval period, though undecorated examples are likely to be…

A late Medieval-Post Medieval lead alloy mount, dating AD 1425-1525. The mount is in the form of a six-petalled flower with a rivet through the centre.

A Roman lead alloy seal impression, probably dating c. AD 180-35. The seal is oval with an image on one side only. The image is that of three busts, the outer most facing inwards, with a line underneath. There appears to be writing below but this is difficult to discern due to damage. The seal is in two pieces. On the back are traces of textile impressions from where the seal was attached to cloth.
The clearest portrait does have the appearance of Commodus (AD 177-92), possibly with his empress Crispina facing. The third head appears to be male (possibly Hercules, the Comes of Comm…
