Description: | A worn, corroded and clipped lead-alloy token of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1250-1800). It is decorated on one side with a possible jug (Powell type 11), whilst the other side depicts a mill (Powell type 22). It is also possible that the side identified as depicting a jug could actually be a rudimentary face. The token has a very thin body with slight clipped areas, and has a light grey-white patina.Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and examples with simple designs could be Medieval to late Post Medieval in date (c. AD 1250-1800). It is arguable that due to the complex depictions on this token that it should date more specifically to the Post Medieval period, c. 1500-1800 AD.
