Description: | Unidentified lead object. The object is cylindrical, and consists of a single rectangular sheet of lead, circa 4mm thick, rolled up to form a solid cylinder. One end of the roll has a series of regular linear grooves running across each sheet, indicating that it was carried out after the object was rolled up. The outer surface of the object has at least five flattened panels, presumably the result of pressing the roll tight during the rolling process. The lines could be some kind of knife mark, being the result of chopping the lead roll into smaller pieces. Alternatively the object could be a crude gaming piece.
