Description: | A lead/lead-alloy token of post-medieval to modern date. No parallel could be found for this piece. The subject matter suggests that it may have been issued during a shoot, perhaps acting as a tally.
The token has been cast. It is sub-square in plan and has rounded corners. The upper surface has an image in relief which is crudely executed and depicts a person standing at the right hand end, facing left and firing a rifle; a falling bird can be seen near the bottom left hand corner of the token. At the centre of the token is a raised ring and below this is a sub-oval depression. The back of the piece is plain.
The token measures 25.6mm on its side, 1.8mm thick and weighs 4.74g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
