Possible fragment from a lead medieval token or secular badge. The fragment is flat and is decorated on both sides. On one side the design in the centre appears to be ears of corn or grasses, with cross hatching on either side. On the other side the letters I R are visible, again with some cross hatching on either side. All sides of the objects are broken apart from one and it is therefore difficult to ascribe a function.
