Description: | A uneven 'dribble' of lead with a flat underside. The upper surface has a moulded simplistic human figurine. In the area where the genitalia should be, there is a circular perforation. Some sort of attachment or handle may have been threaded through this perforation. It is possible that it may have been used as a stamp to create an impression in clay etc.
It is very difficult to date such an object. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
