Flat, silver, angular shield-shaped object inscribed WC 1643, the date and the owner's initials, within an engraved linear border with multiple transverse lines. The heads of two separate silver rivets are flush with the front face and their shanks bent over onto the reverse. Probably part of a hawking vervel, although normally the shield-shaped plate and the ring are joined with solder. 1643 AD.

Silver pendant shield with an integral loop at the apex, probably a vervel of Lewis and Richardson type C.iii. The shield is engraved on both faces: Fr Man / nock of / giffardes / hall // in Stoke / in Suf. / esquire . Two similar objects are illustrated in the Treasure Annual Report 2004 nos.319-320. The better parallel of the two, no.320 (from Suffolk), is described as being 'possibly from horse harness' which is most unlikely.

A possibly Middle or Late Saxon object. A trapezoidal fragment of silver sheet with engraved and niello-inlaid decoration on one face. One edge, which is followed by a line of fine hatching and an engraved line (forming a kind of ladder pattern), may be original, while of two others cutting across the decoration, one (longer and at right angles to the ladder pattern) is clearly chopped. There is a single off-centre circular hole (diameter 2 mm) pushed through from the reverse. The nature of the decoration is uncertain. There appear to be two fields bounded by straight lines enclo…

Treasure report from Dr Andrew Rogerson: Incomplete and distorted silver unidentified object: two identical hollow cones of octagonal section are soldered together at their bases, and four rings (one missing) are soldered to the joint; these appear to be for suspension. At both apices there is a jagged break. The date and function is uncertain, but it may perhaps be a knop from the stem of a vessel. It may be more than three hundred years old.
