The design appears to be a shield with a St Georges cross in it. In one quarter is part of an object, probably a sword and around the base are various raised pellets, part of a larger, unclear design. The St Georges cross with sword in the upper left quarter is the shield of the City of London and this may be part of a Late Medieval heraldic badge. Decorative lead work was also used to decorate interiors and exteriors as well as large objects in the Late Medieval - Post medieval period and this may be from a larger panel used in this way.It is 40.6mm long, 29.8mm wide and 1.7mm thick, it weighs 8.29 grams.
