Description: | A cast lead object of medieval to post-medieval date, possibly used as a palm guard. The object is pear-shaped in plan, with a D-shaped section, so that it fits well into the palm of the hand, presenting the flat face upwards for use. The surface of the lead object is very uneven and has various deep striations. The metal is a pale grey and has very little corrosion. The object measures 65.3mm long, 50.7mm wide and 12.1mm thick; it weighs 177.0 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
