Description: | A complete cast lead unidentified object of Unkown date. Length 40.2mm, width 37.8mm and overall thickness 12.3mm. Weight 61.15g.The object is crudely made. It is mainly in the form of a sub-square tablet which has a maximum thickness of 6.1mm and a minimum thickness of 3.4mm. In plan, the tablet has rounded corners. On the front face it has an indeterminate design within a sub-square border. However, the design is obscured by pitting and corrosion as well as old and modern scuff marks. The rear face of the tablet is largely flat at either side of a slightly off-centre casting seam. The seam extends the full width of the object. About mid-way along the length of the seam there is a sub-triangular feature which is bent over at an angle of almost 90° to the rear face. This feature may be a handle although it is more likely to be casting sprue.
