Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy artefact, possibly a post medieval shy-cock or a fragment from a piece of decorative horse harness. The artefact has become badly twisted and folded in the plough soil and the original form is difficult to describe. In cross section it is sub-rectangular (slightly D shaped) with bevelled edges. The reverse face is plain and undecorated - there is no evidence of attachment lugs of fixing mounts. The cast decoration on the front face consists of a linear band with a cross potent within; the external edge is formed from a serrated band of raised square shaped pellets forming a decorative border. A direct parallel has not been found but the artefact would make sense being either a shy-cock or possibly a harness decorative boss.Length:33.4mm, width 34.8mm and thickness 4.5mm. Weight :24.72 grams.
