Description: | Almost complete cast lead alloy post Medieval heart-shaped probable token or possible pendant. The token is decorated on both sides. One side carries a central cross with pellet finials and has the letters S and I (or possibly T) to either side. The decoration on the reverse of the heart is heavily worn but possibly carried further lettering or a curvilinear design. The heart is slightly convex in section. It is possible that the heart had a suspension loop as the upper edge is sharp and lacks the same wear as on all other surfaces.Due to the lettering and parallels between this item and the more commonly found circular lead tokens this item has been dated c.1600-1800.
