Description: | A cast lead token. The token is flat and circular.
The obverse of the token depicts a crude outline of a man's head. He has an eye, a nose, a mouth and hair. In his mouth is a pipe, which he is smoking. Smoke can be seen raising from the bowl of the pipe.
The reverse depicts what looks like the outline of a man sat on a two wheeled cart, holding a bottle with a barrel in front of him.
The lead has gone a mid brownish-grey colour.
Due to a lack of excavated examples these tokens can only be loosely dated from between circa 1600 ?? 1850 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Locke, Timothy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
