Description: | Lead pendant, possibly a crude medieval pilgrim's souvenir. The pendant is circular and measures 27 mm in diameter with a suspension hole of 2 mm in diameter near to one edge. It is decorated with an incised design on both sides. On one side 11 lines of short transverse dashes radiate from the centre. On the other side, there is a diagonal criss-crossing of lines near the pendant's suspension hole, whilst underneath there is what appears to be a haphazard collection of short incised transverse dashes. Circular pewter and lead pilgrim souvenirs are known (e.g. Spencer, 1998, pages 314-316) although the lack of any discernible theme on this example may bring the possibility into question in this case. | 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: | 1300
