Description: | Cast lead alloy badge, probably Medieval. The badge is circular in plan and flat in section. To the front of the badge is a raised moulded design of a simple human face within a border. The face takes the form of two lentoid eyes, with dots for pupils, a slightly raised moulded, straight nose joined with the straight eyebrows and a simple straight line for the mouth. The border is decorated with a series of rings-and-dots. The reverse of the badge is plain, but there is an integral shank that extends from the top edge of the badge and is bent back parallel with the reverse. This is presumably a simple form of attachment. Though an exact parallel could not be found, a similarly designed badge is recorded as YORYM-7FC646, also with a human face motif (though unlike the face recorded here). The badge is 20.58mm in diameter, 1.3mm thick and weighs 3.56g. | 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: | 1200
