Toy

Unique ID: SWYOR-763515

Object type certainty: Possibly

A lead decorative object, flat and shaped rather like a blunted barded arrowhead. The object has been bent slightly in antiquity. The two side pieces are decorated with triangles with four pellets in each. The central section dividing the triangular decorations has waved lines crossing each other overlying transverse lines. The edges are patinated and rounded, so it is not clear if there are any breaks. The function of this object is unknown, but it may have been part of a toy. It is probably Medieval to Post Medieval in date.
