Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy pipe tamper in the form of a hand. The hand tapers to a wrist with a moulded transverse cuff before it terminates with a break. The fingers of the hand are curled over grasping a stick or scroll. Each end of the scroll terminates with a break. The palm of the hand shows signs of modern damage. It has a light white patina.Similar examples are illustrated on page 63 of Detector Finds by Bailey (1992). Similar examples which can be found on the database are SWYOR-654428 and SWYOR-6CB5E6. A Late Post Medieval to Modern date is suggested.
