Description: | Cast lead alloy object, probably a pendant dating from the Medieval period. The object is flat-sectioned with a highly irregular plan. Starting from the top, there is a tag with rounded edges and a perforation for attachment/suspension. On one side, this opens out into an angled shoulder; the other side drops down to the terminal end of the object. From the side of the shoulder-area, this moves in sharply to the the top of the terminal end. The terminal end of the object is best described as a fish-tail, with two round-sided, pointed 'legs'. The leg on the shoulder side of the object has a small triangular portion removed; this appears to have been intentional. On either surface of the fish-tail are raised ribs, following the lines of the edges. These do not appear to extend onto the rest of the object, but due to the degree of wear, this is unclear. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Echtenacher, Beth - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
