Title
Medieval: Small lead alloy shield
Description
English: A small lead-alloy square topped shield, divided into four unequal quarters. The shield has a cross-hatch design etched into the top left and bottom right quarters - there may be a design in the two remaining quarters but they are unclear. The function of this object is unclear, and suggestions range from a template for horse harness pendants, a cheaper version of such a pendant, a small servants badge, or possibly part of a child's toy. There does not appear to be any attachment fitting on the back, which is plain. The design and style of this little shield suggests that it dates from the 13th - 15th centuries, although it may also date into the Post-medieval period.
