Sheet copper alloy Late Roman flat-bladed nail-cleaner with varying decoration in the form of a fish in plan. On the upper face of the cleaner there are three lines of parallel punched ring and dot decoration and two ring and dot punches for the eyes around the grooved mouth which acts as the point of the cleaner. The tail end has a circular loop which would have been used to suspend the cleaner, as part of a toiletry set, from the wearer's belt.

Lead cloth seal of four-disc form, stamped on the inner discs, with the initial of the alnager: 'S' surrounded by the word 'HAMPSHIRE' inside a raised ring border: the other disc is stamped with a bird within a shield, which is in turn also within a ring border.

Cast copper alloy furniture escutcheon with a central cross forming a boss, surrounded by a ring of pellets, in relief, and then an outer ring of moulded rectangles, in relief, alternating with flowers, which form the border. Two integral copper alloy screws survive and the iron corrosion product around each of them suggest that they may have originally been nuts. Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example on page 16, No.4, which has a threaded moulding on the reverse to take an attachment screw, and is dated from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century.

Cast copper alloy mount with a figure of a cherub with its wings out-stretched and holding open the 'leaves' of a flower below its torso. Each leaf or side arch has a perforated rivet hole in it. This would have attached the mount to a vessel or piece of furniture, along with the flat strap of copper alloy that is attached to the back of the cherub's shoulders and has since broken off the vessel. The flat rectangular strap appears to have the shadow of a triangular extension to it above, leading up to the back of the cherub's head. Below the flower are the legs of the cherub, with a p…
