Ancient intaglio from the Bonded Store, St Peter Port - This red jasper intaglio measures just 15mm and portrays a quirky ‘gryllos’—a combination of overlapping human and animal heads, dating back to the late second or early third century AD.

Rouen Jug Sherd, St Peter Port Harbour - This fragment of a jug, made in Rouen in the 12th or early 13th century, was discovered by divers. The durability of pottery brings history to life, with pieces often found along the shore next to Castle Cornet or in the seabed.
