Description: | A fragment of medieval (1300-1500) lead secular badge (probably) consisting of an incomplete edge (old breaks) decorated with raised ring-and-dot and a narrower, plain arm extending at 45 degrees. The fragment measures 31.83x13.49x3.32mm and weighs 4.44g.The raised ring-and-dot moulding can be seen on several secular badges from Salisbury and was presumably a common form of decoration. Cf. Spencer 1990, nos.250, 258 and 299. The last of these, a badge in the form of a harp, bears resemblance to this fragment with its 'strings' extending at a similar angle to the 'frame' as the narrower arm to the decorated edge.
