Description: | A cast lead object of uncertain date and function. It has been suggested that lead objects of this form are Early-medieval gaming pieces (see, for example, N. Mills; 2001; pp. 86); it is, however, possible that they are weights and without any stratigraphic evidence or comparable examples from excavations, the suggested date of this piece is by no means certain.
The object is sub-conical in form, having a flat base (with a circular depression at the centre) and a rounded top. It measures 17.7mm wide, 14.2mm high and weighs 27.9g. | 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: | 600
