Description: | A complete cast lead object. Possibly a weight of Medieval, late fifteenth century date (c. AD 1450 - c. AD 1500). Length: 19.0mm; width: 17.7mm and 11.7mm thick. Weight: 27.11g. The object is sub-cuboid in form and has been 'pinched' at the sides, probably whilst it was still in a semi-molten state. Consequently, the sides are slightly concave in plan. The upper face is slightly concave and has heraldic decoration, possibly within a moulded shield motif of late fifteenth century style which is divided per pale and charged with three roundels in base. The rear face is flat, except for the raised edges which were created as a result of the 'pinching'.The object is in a stable condition and has traces of a buff patina. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
