Description: | Cast lead item, probably a stylus. The item is a cylinder, 7.9mm in diameter and 54.2mm long; one end tapers to a point, the other widens on one side and is flattened. This flattened end, 12.2mm wide by 19.1mm long, unlike other styli, does not come to a sharp edge but is still 1.9mm thick at the end, possibly due to damage. The entire item weighs 18.2 grams.
Although lead stylus are in use during the Roman and Medieval periods this appears more similar to post medieval examples. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
