Description: | Lead Metalworking Debris. Cast object, probably intended to receive ironwork inserted into stone, where the lead would retard corrosion of the iron and the consequent splitting of the stone. This example appears to be an unused and flawed casting made in an open mould. The slots next to the rectangular rebate may be intended to ease removal of a warm casting from the mould by inserting a small tool. Lightly patinated overall. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.Length: 30.2mm, Width: 18.7mm, Height: 15.6mm, Weight: 32.37gms.
