Description: | Lead alloy possible badge. Cast badge of plano-convex form with a moulded figurative front and the stub of an integrally cast and undrilled shank folded against the back; a mould line appears here. A part of the shank broke away during inspection. Patinated overall. The display face bears some resemblance to a human mask with hair or ears to its sides, facial features, and a garment collar below. An identification as a later medieval badge, probably secular, is currently entertained, though an identification as a later button was also considered. Suggested date: possibly Late Medieval, 1350-1500.Diameter (long axis): 27mm, Thickness (clear of loop): 4.9mm, Weight: 10.43gms.
