Description: | Unusual lead alloy pendant. Although very worn, the face of the pendant appears to have had human or zoomorphic designs, almost resembling the type commonly found on gold bracteates. The reverse of the pendant has unusual incised 'free-hand' decoration, the meaning of which is unclear. There appears to be a large circle containing a smaller circle and vertical line. To the above left and right of the outer circle are two triangles, each enclosing a letter. The other explanation could be that the object is some sort of seal matrix where the lead casting has been made but no matrix has been cut.
