The object consists of an irregular shaped sheet of lead measuring 36.8mm long and 25.5mm wide. The upper surface of the plate contains finger prints, which were formed when the heated lead was pressed into shape. Extending from the reverse of this sheet is an integral projection, the back edge of which has been hammered flat in order to secure the mend to the pottery vessel. There is no trace of pottery in the void between the front plate and the flattened external projection. The piece meaures 8.5mm thick and weighs 36.48g. | 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: | 43
