Description: | Cast lead gaming piece or weight, square in plan and sub-pyramidal in profile and section, with a central groove which might have been used for suspension or the shape may represent a keep or castle if it was used as a gaming piece.
As its weight equates to a little over one ounce (1.03 oz), this suggests that it might have more likely been used as a weight.
Biggs and Withers (2000) illustrate two similar weights on page 33, No.79, which is an irregular pyramid, and No.84 which is a square pyramid that might be a gaming piece instead. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
