Description: | A lead alloy unidentified object, probably dating from the17th century . The object is a thick sheet of lead alloy bent into a small rectangular cup or container. The walls seem to have originally sloped inwards so that the opening at the top was smaller than the base. The inside of the vessel is decorated on the base with the initials W T deeply impressed into the base. The function of this object, with a design that may not have been visible when it was complete is unknown and puzzling. The outer base of the object is rounded and undecorated. The lead has a well developed patina.
