Cast lead decorative object, possibly a mount in the form of a skeleton.
It has cast decoration on both sides and appears complete. One side is more worn than the other and so the decoration is not as clear.
The object has a central motif of a skeleton with arms raised up to horizontal. The head is above the edge of the object and so sticks out. There are 4 circular holes, one below each arm and also 2 where the feet should be.
The use of skeletons as a motif is most common around the 17/18th centuries. For example they are often used on 17th and 18th century mourning rings.
