status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete white metal, possibly nickel, object of probable Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1800 - 1900. The object is sub-triangular with irregular sloping sides and a flat top and base. The top is narrower than the base. The base appears to have an incised design thought this cannot be sufficiently determined.
The object is 10.3mm long, 9.3mm wide, 5.2mm thick and weighs 2.4g.
It is possible that this fragment may be part of a block from a printing press thought this attribution cannot be certain due to the advance wear of the object.
