Description: | A medieval lead token. The token is uniface with the reverse being completely flat. The central design is unintelligible but appears to consist of three raised curved lines forming a triangle with open corners and concave sides. There are two raised pellets in the centre, and two on the outside of each line. A short raised line projects from the triangle between the outer pairs of dots on each side of the triangle. It is not clear what this design represents, or what use the token had. No close parallel has been found, but many similar examples of tokens can be seen in Fletcher (2005) and at www.mernick.co.uk/leadtokens, dated to the medieval period. | 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: | 1066
