Copper alloy figurine. Pressed metal naturalistically rendered concavo-convex skull, of a narrow and elongated form possibly emphasised by light squashing. Traces of black coating appear on the dome of the skull, perhaps polished by wear against clothing. The memento mori was a motif which gained understandable currency in times of Plague, in the later 14th century as in the later 17th. The black coating may hint at a later date in the available range. Suggested date: Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1350-1700 Length: 23.6mm, Width: 11.4mm, Thickness (wall): 0.4mm, Weight: 1.01gms.
