A round plastic yellow lid from a “smarties” tube, branded with the word “rowntree” resting on a wooden surface

Top down photo into a white bucket containing a large number if chunky plastic pieces. Most are chunks of buoy in orange and yellow shades, bit there is also a strange white figure of 8 object and a bright yellow hook.
