Description: | A cast lead human face of probable post-medieval or modern date. The object is possibly a weight. It is sub-oval in plan and D-shaped in profile. The face is roughly executed with traces of eyes and mouth, and more obvious protruding nose and ears. The back of the object is flat and undecorated and there are no signs that it was ever mounted onto something. A parallel on the PAS database is HESH-513062, from Bilbrook in Staffordshire. This weight is of similar size and appearance and weighs less than two grams (112.64g) more than the Donyatt example (110.66g). This is equivalent to just under 4oz. | 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: | 1500
