Description: | A lead container with a flat back and flared neck, decorated with two parallel lines. It is of a type usually considered to be a birdseed holder and to date from the C15th to C16th. Others suggested uses are dice shakers, grain measures, blood letting cups, inkwells or hold water containers/fonts for private homes. This particular example has three marks at the rear of the base, which may indicate that it was once held in place by a three-pronged clamp. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1400
