Description: | Cast lead-alloy pendant, probably dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1500-1800. The pendant was made from cast lead-alloy and is decorated with a large letter 'W' on the obverse. It is plain on the reverse. It probably had a small suspension loop at the top, set at a right angle to the pendant. The general shape, lay-out and position of the loop are reminiscent of medieval horse harness and heraldic shield-shaped pendants and it is possible that this is a later copy of one of those pendant or possibly a copy made for a child to play with. The capital 'W' could possibly stand for the inital of the child's name, e.g. William or Walter.
