Description: | Lead alloyUnidentified object. Cast plate with an expanded lobed or fishtail-shaped end; the other end of the plate is lost. The display face is bordered by fine beading, and bears a tiny Greek cross in each lobe. The letters G R appear below the crosses in Roman script, and above a small floral or vegetal motif - probably not feathers or a lis. The letters may suggest this to be a fitting from an item of government property, possibly weaponry or related military or militia equipment; given the lettering style a reference to George III (1760-1820) would seem most likely. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1760-1800.Length: 18.4mm, Width: 18.5mm, Thickness: 1.9mm, Weight: 3.68gms.
