It's something, but I don't believe it's a stamp. The side with the "figure" appears to just be random gouges in it. The other side is more interesting with what appears to be lettering around the ring. If it's lead I'm surprised it doesn't have a white patina on it. Did it? The shape of the item hints at it being used as some sort of plug. Not sure on age tho.

Great find what ever it is. I agree with Eric, the outer ring does look like it has letters or numbers.

It was crusted but I could not make anything out until I cleaned it. I used only olive oil

Looks like a game bird with its tail up., but I'm just seeing things in the random pits/knocks.
