status: Awaiting validation 
A lead token or pilgrim related item, probably of medieval date. The token is circular and decorated on both sides with what appear to be religious scenes. One side depicts a robed figure standing. The upper half of the figure is missing, but to the left is a cross with pellet terminals, and to the right is a lozenge shaped motif, which appears to continue into the missing section. The other side depicts the lower half of a figure; both legs are visible, and there is perhaps short drapary across the waist. An additional figure is seen to the right and also to the left. This scene may depict the crucifiction, or perhaps three saints.
