Description: | An unidentified lead/tin alloy object, possibly a vessel dating from the medieval or post-medieval periods. Length: 22.3mm; width: 20.1mm; thickness: 3.0mm; mass: 4.5g. The letters A and B within a zig-zag border are stamped on the slightly concave front of the object. The reverse is slightly convex (from side to side). The edges are incomplete and have a slightly laminated appearance. The style of the lettering suggests that the object is medieval or early postmedieval in date.In "English Pewter Touchmarks", Radway Jackson (1970) discusses "owners marks" which are plain initials struck on the front or back of vessels. It is possible that the letters represent the initials or a former owner of the object, which is possibly a vessel.
