Circle-decorated, Pierced, Pewter Object.

[DavidBeard]

Hi All,
Could this be some kind of Jewellery? Its Grayish (now) in colour, so I'm thinking Pewter. It weighs 20.8g The diameter across the widest part almost 4cm. 2 sets of double circles on one side, nothing on the reverse.
It showing some 'rust' staining at the pierced part - Could have looked good hanging around the neck
Here are the pics:










Found in stubble field where I found the Elizabeth I Half-groat last year.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
David.

I wonder if it is a lid to a small creamer . Here is what I'm thinking about -

Not jewelry. Looks like a patch box cover, but my guess is inkwell cover, possibly from a school desk..

Yep I would say most definately the ink well lid. the rust is caused by the ferrous base pin that went through the hole connecting the lid to the lower half.
