Description: | Copper alloyPossible Gaming Counter. Cast flat-backed disc with figurative display face. This features a seated figure rendered in low relief, apparently naked, with his legs drawn up before him. The right arm is bent behind the body with hand under rump, and the left appears to raise a drinking vessel to the mouth. The figure appears against a pelleted ground within a low border. Extensive traces of black material on the figurative side may suggest it was painted.In so far as it is visible, this figure would appear to relate to the naturalistic treatment of racy or risqué subjects in a range of media, especially in vogue during the 18th century. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800.Diameter: 21.6mm, Thickness: 2.9mm, Weight: 5.53gms.
