Description: | The two objects are fragments of window came. They are made of lead alloy, which has either been cast or moulded. The cames could date from the Medieval to the Post Medieval period. There are no inscriptions of makers' or glaziers to help narrow down the date. The cames are a 'H' shape in section. One of the cames tapers to a blunt point in width, which is presumed to be purposeful, whereas the other terminals are all broken, and broken quite recently. The external surfaces of the cames do has an irregular ridge which could be interpreted as a casting seam. The cames, where there is not recent damage, has developed a beige/grey coloured patina. Together the two cames weigh, 28.98g. One is 49.3mm long, 9.1mm wide and 7.8mm thick. The second is 34.5mm long, 9.2mm wide and 8.7mm thick.
