GAMING PIECE</objecttype>
<descriptions>
<description>
<full>A cast lead&#45;alloy gaming piece of the Early Medieval period,  probably Viking/Anglo&#45;Scandinavian.  

The piece is conical with three wedge&#45; or claw&#45;like projections at the top,  arranged fairly regularly every 120 degrees. The object is hollow, and it has been squeezed inward, distorting the circular shape of the base. There may have been a parallel sunken bands around the base, but damage and wear has obscured this feature. 

Found on the same field as NCL&#45;C12321 and NCL&#45;CFFFC7, with verbals reports of other found but not recorded.</full>
