Description: | A fragment of a flat, rectangular (?) lead plate with moulded decoration and a small circular perforation. On one surface, the letters 'P Q R S T' are visible, with a line above and below. There is a further row of letters or numbers below these, but these are illegible except for the final two which may read '2 8'. On the other side, there is a pattern of concentric circles, with ring and dot between them. This may be a fragment of the lead equivalent of a 'horn book' used in the early post medieval period as a means of learning the alphabet. A similar lead example was published in 'The Searcher Magazine' Issue No. 222, 'Horn books: real and so-called' by P. Spencer. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1500
