An incomplete cast lead or lead-alloy badge or mount, possibly dating to the late Medieval to Post Medieval period. The uniface object is in the form of a horse and rider but is broken. The surviving part of the horse depicts its lower body, hind and upper leg. The horse is very worn but appears to have moulded decoration that may represent livery. The rider sat upright on the back of the horse is rather crudely depicted. Only the upper torso, lower body and upper legs survive. One hand, or part of the arm, appears to be placed on or by the hip. It is not clear what the rider is wearing but the garment is undecorated. The rider's neck is broken and the figure's head is missing. Attached to the reverse of the horse's hind is a thin circular-sectioned attachment pin which is bent and broken at the opposite end. The object measures 29mm in length, 27mm in width and 5mm in thickness. It weighs 11.30 grams.<\/p>\n\n
The object is broadly similar in design to the pilgrim souvenir badges of horse and riders of various depictions (St. George on horseback slaying a dragon, Thomas Becket returning from exile on horseback, Henry VI on horseback holding a sword) but is generally much cruder in design and execution. It may alternatively be a secular badge which were more popular in the 14th and 15th centuries, one example of which, from Solihull, is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database (WAW-E05F80).<\/p>", "notes": null, "reuse": null, "reusePeriodID": null, "created": "2018-09-13 10:10:14", "updated": "2018-09-14 14:34:51", "secwfstage": "4", "findofnote": null, "objecttypecert": "1", "datefound1": "2017-01-01", "datefound2": "2018-03-31", "inscription": null, "museumAccession": null, "subsequentAction": "1", "objectCertainty": "Certain", "dateFromCertainty": "1", "dateToCertainty": "1", "dateFoundFromCertainty": null, "dateFoundToCertainty": null, "subPeriodFrom": null, "subPeriodTo": null, "objdate1period": "29", "objdate2period": "36", "secuid": "PAS5B9A29760017E0", "material1": "25", "material2": null, "manmethod": "1", "decmethod": null, "decstyle": "7", "complete": "2", "surface": null, "manufactureID": "1", "culture": null, "smrRef": null, "hoardcontainer": null, "institution": "BH", "reason": null, "primaryMaterial": "Lead Alloy", "primaryBMmaterial": "11095", "secondaryMaterial": null, "secondaryBMmaterial": null, "decoration": null, "style": "Figurative", "manufacture": "Cast", "surfaceTreatment": null, "completeness": "Incomplete", "preservation": "Poor", "periodFrom": "MEDIEVAL", "seneschalPeriodFrom": "MD", "bmPeriodFrom": "x14221", "periodoPeriodFrom": "p0gjgrsxwzx", "periodTo": "POST MEDIEVAL", "seneschalPeriodTo": "PM", "bmPeriodTo": "x41047", "periodoPeriodTo": "p0gjgrs6sgx", "reusePeriod": null, "ascribedCulture": null, "culturePeriodo": null, "cultureBM": null, "discmethod": "Metal detector", "fromCirca": "Circa", "toCirca": "Circa", "findSpotID": "916361", "countyID": "3909", "parishID": "3864", "districtID": "3923", "regionID": "41425", "fourFigure": "TL0509", "map25k": "TL0509", "map10k": "TL00NE", "knownas": null, "fourFigureLat": "51.76983853", "fourFigureLon": "-0.47971139", "woeid": null, "gridlen": "6", "geonamesID": null, "accuracy": "100", "what3words": null, "source": "Centred on village (which isn't a parish)", "coinID": null, "obverseDescription": null, "obverseInscription": null, "reverseDescription": null, "reverseInscription": null, "cciNumber": null, "denominationID": null, "degreeOfWear": null, "allenType": null, "vaType": null, "mackType": null, "abcType": null, "bmcType": null, "reeceID": null, "dieAxis": null, "moneyer": null, "revtypeID": null, "categoryID": null, "typeID": null, "tribeID": null, "statusID": null, "rulerQualifier": null, "denominationQualifier": null, "mintQualifier": null, "dieAxisCertainty": null, "initialMark": null, "reverseMintMark": null, "statusQualifier": null, "ruler1": null, "ruler2": null, "mintID": null, "rrcID": null, "ricID": null, "tribe": null, "ironAgeRegion": null, "ironAgeArea": null, "denomination": null, "nomismaDenomination": null, "dbpediaDenomination": null, "bmDenomination": null, "primaryRuler": null, "viaf": null, "rulerDbpedia": null, "nomismaRulerID": null, "secondaryRuler": null, "periodName": null, "dateRange": null, "mintName": null, "nomismaMintID": null, "pleiadesID": null, "mintGeonamesID": null, "mintWoeid": null, "mintOsID": null, "mintGettyID": null, "mintWoeID": null, "mintDbPediaID": null, "mintWhat3Words": null, "mintBritMuseumID": null, "wear": null, "nomismaWear": null, "dieAxisName": null, "category": null, "type": null, "moneyerID": null, "nomismaMoneyer": null, "emperorID": null, "romanMintID": null, "reverseType": null, "status": null, "jettonClass": null, "jettonType": null, "jettonGroup": null, "thumbnail": "1027454", "filename": "BHA29767.jpg", "filesize": "398490", "imageLabel": "Medieval or Post Medieval badge or mount (possibly)", "imageCopyrightHolder": "The Portable Antiquities Scheme", "imageLicense": "4", "imagedir": "images\/mfittock\/", "region": "Eastern", "rallyID": null, "rallyName": null, "rallyDateFrom": null, "rallyDateTo": null, "landuse": null, "landvalue": null, "regionType": "European Region", "countyType": "County", "county": "Hertfordshire", "districtType": "District", "district": "Dacorum", "parishType": "District Ward", "centreLat": "51.7734", "centreLon": "-0.456266", "parish": "Grovehill", "subsequentActionTerm": "Returned to finder", "bmThesObject": null, "seneschalObject": "96418" } ] }
