Description: | A Post-Medieval (1500-1800) hemispherical lead mount with iron staining/ corrosion on the reverse and depicting a lion to the front, measuring 22.84mm in diameter, standing 12.36mm high and weighing 21.8g.The reverse is mostly flat. However, to one side is a raised area of lead with possibly iron remains around it. There is a 5.5x3x3mm area perpendicular to the edge which is hollow, and the remains of an ?iron bar is visible inside emerging from underneath the lead/ iron lump.The lion's face is moulded with a prominent brow ridge and small indented eyes below, and a large triangular nose and snout.Cf. A group of three similar objects, HAMP-063211, HAMP-3FBE77 and HAMP3655 on this database, with wire projections to the reverse, evidently the means by which the objects were secured.
