Description: | An incomplete lead object, possibly a fragment from a pendant or decorative mount of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is circular in plan and oval shaped in section, seemingly terminating in old breaks along all edges and the back face. The front face is decorated with moulded ridges that radiate from one end of the object and produce a scalloped appearance. The entire object measures 13.39mm in length, 11.85mm in width, 8.68mm in thickness, and weighs 3.46g. This is perhaps a fragment from a decorative lead pendant similar to examples utilised as objects such as pilgrim badges. The globular appearance may indicate use as an attached, button or similar object, although the poor preservation of the back face and edges makes a close identification problematic. It is of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date of c.1400-1600 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
