Description: | Lead fragment of a window came. The lead is very fine and has lozenge sectioned flanges. The upper and lower gap between the flanges are 3mm in width, whilst the height of the flanges is 1.5mm. The object has been purposely rolled and twisted into two coils at the end.The came has been milled through a hand-turned vice, which has given the object its characteristic reeding along the web. Egan et al (1986) argue that this form of milled lighter window lead became widespread in the 16th century.
