Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy ornamental letter 'E', probably 13th-14th century, probably from a memorial brass, possibly a casket fitting? Incomplete with lower right quarter broken off. Closed Lombardic E with angular back (similar to those on Edward II Class XIb pennies, which date to 1310-1314). Flat on both obverse and reverse; smoothed on the obverse, unsmoothed on the reverse; file marks on the sides (transverse on the upper left outer side & all inner sides, oblique on the lower left outer side and inner right upper side). Mid green colour. No attachment holes for rivets, so was presumably set into something. Length 34.7mm, width 28.5mm, thickness 3.1mm, weight 7.53g.A number of similar letter Lombardic 'E's are recorded on the PAS database - including SF-F09CE6 (broken in same place), SF8287, SF-1019A2, SWYOR-6345B3, LIN-F63127 (broken in same place) NLM-1E79B3, NMGW-35B881.
