Description: | A fragment of a lead toy clock face or secular badge of possible late 15th to late 17th century AD date. Apprimately one quarter of the original object survives in a corroded and bent condition. The piece would have conprised a flat circular disc with a small central hole. The upper surface has cast decoration consisting on the outer edge of a repeating pattern of closely-spaced circles. This sits outside a central band of scrolls or vine leaves, whilst the innermost band has the Roman numerals "VIII, IX,....", which are, presumably, designed to depict the numbers on a clock face or sundial. It measures 13.8mm wide by 1.7mm thick and weighs 2.65g. | 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: | 1475
