Description: | Ceramic loom weight. Probably Early Medieval. Lightly baked clay with incised decoration. The clay has some shell and small, smooth stone inclusions. It has been overfired, giving it a reddish outer layer, with a blackened mid-layer and a dark grey centre. It is roughly circular and the central hole is slightly off-centre.The upper surface has two concentric circles with vertical lines at regular intervals. the lower surface has multiple incisions on a vertical and horizontal axis. The side of the object has vertical lines at regular intervals with a horizontal line connecting them in the centre. The design was probably created using the tip of a sharp knife when the clay was wet.
