Description: | A lead alloy token or tally, probably relating to agricultural use and dating from the 17th to 18th century AD. The token is roughly circular in plan and has chamfered edges on the underside. There is a grid pattern / cross hatching on the front while the reverse is plain. Powell Type 20. Edward Fletcher (2005:108) suggests that tokens with this pattern on may be related to the harrowing of the fields or possibly to the game of chequers, which was popular with farm workers during the 17th and 18th centuries. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
