Description: | Three possible Roman lead curse tablets. The three objects are composed of a rolled strip of lead which has been deliberately folded, one twice and the other two have been folded three times. The surface colour is varying shades of grey and cream. One measures 32.92mm x 11.71mm wide weighing 15.2g. The second measures 30.96mm x 16.92mm wide weighing 24g. The third measures 28.35mm x 11.71mm wide weighing 13.2g.Although this object has been classified as a curse tablet, it is far more likely to be modern and may have performed an entirely different function, perhaps such as a weight or ingot. Other curse tablets have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database.
