Lead alloy unidentified object. Cast three-sided hollow pyramidal object, open at its broader end and with concave sides. Each identical face bears a pair of basal opposed scroll motifs with tendrils carried up either side towards a billeted solid pyramidal apex; the tendrils enclose a finely cross-hatched field with a line of three small trefoils or lis set centrally. Patinated inside and out. A very narrow and delicate continuation from the apex might be posited, alternatively the object may be complete. This might have served as a playing piece or toy, and, if so, the antique appearance of its decoration may be anachronistic. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1850
Height: 25.1mm, Width: 23.3mm, Thickness (wall): 1.4mm, Weight: 6.52gms
