TOY
Unique ID: LIN-531FDA
Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A lead alloy object, probably a fragment of Post-Medieval toy, or maybe part of a pilgrim or secular badge. The object is flat, thin and sub triangular and all edges appear to be broken. One perimeter is decorated with a band of moulded lines. A thick ridge runs transversly around this, and continues up one of the other sides. An additional line runs vertically from the centre. The reverse is undecorated and has no areas of interest.
It is possibly part of a lead lady doll or other Post Medieval toy similar to LIN-AD9DD4 or DUR-379244, but seems too small to have been the whole skirt. These toys were often made from lead alloy and were flat and thin. It could also be part of a badge, but not enough of the original shape survives to tell which.
