Description: | A worn and incomplete lead alloy token or tally, dating to the post-medieval period. The token is unifaced and depicts the crudely executed moulding of a bird facing right. The bird is comprised of lines and pellets. There are no other markings on the token, and a small piece is missing from one edge. These tokens are common finds, and although their use is not certain, it is likely that they were to do with agricultural tallies and trading or possibly they were gaming pieces. This example is of Powell's Type 18 (birds), and is likely to date from the 16th to 18th century AD.
