Description: | Possible post-medieval pipe tamper, cast in lead. The tamper is an irregular rectangle shape and depicts two standing figures taking part in a sexual act. The figures are facing each other; standing on the left is the man and on the right is the lady. The tamper is in poor condition and is broken off where the tamper part would have been. The back of the object is completely flat. The object measures 48mm in length, 28.5mm in width and 10.5mm in thickness, and weighs 70.18g. A similar parallel can be seen in 'Detector Finds' By Gordon Bailey, page 66, Fig.49. | 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: | 1700
