Description: | A cast lead object of uncertain form or date. It is oval shaped in section and in form is crescentic, terminating at both ends in old breaks so that only half of a complete crescent shape is preserved. At one end it tapers horizontally, whilst at the other it thickens. The back face is flat and undecorated, however the front face has moulded decoration. This comprises a small transverse ridge at the narrow end, followed by a cetral projecting circle or pellet. Between the pellet and the wider end there are a series of diagonal ridges with cross-hatching between them. The entire object measures 26.66mm in length, 21.57mm in width (13.25mm in width at wide end; 6.82mm in width at narrow end), 2.81mm in thickness, and 5.49g in weight. The precise form of this object remains uncertain, although it is reminiscent of decorative buckle frames and similar objects of Medieval and later date. It is likely to be Medieval or later in date, although a slightly earlier date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
