Title: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT [Go to resource]
Description: An unidentified cast object probably Post Medieval in date. It is in the form of a square-topped shield with a narrow raised border around the curved part of the shape. The facing surface is decorated with pairs of cross-hatched diagonal lines forming a lozengiform (diamond) pattern; within each lozenge there is a cinquefoil motif. Towards the straight side of the shield and nearer to one side there is a small circular projection the nature of which is unclear. The white to grey colouration and corrosion characteristic of the metal suggests it is probably comprised of a tin-lead alloy similar to pewter. The object is 16.26mm wide.
