Description: | A slightly worn lead token of medieval date. The object is sub-circular and is slightly worn. It measures 26.2mm diameter by 2.7mm thick and weighs 13.67g. One of the sides is decorated with the raised design of a bird, facing to the left. It is crudely depicted and has cross hatched decoration across its body. The field above the bird contains a possible leaf, whilst in front of the bird is a symbol which resembles a backwards letter "B". The other side of the token also has a bird design. This main bird is facing left and bending forwards as if pecking at the ground with its tail up in the air. There is also a second, right facing, bird above. Both of the birds on this side appear to be hens, whereas the one on the other side looks more like a pigeon. | Subjects: | Lead | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
