Description: | Lead Curse Tablet. A long rectangle of cast lead sheet of thickness 2mm, probably knife trimmed, and then neatly rolled into a tight tube. Very lightly patinated. The finder reports an attempt to unroll and read the sheet was embarked on and abandoned without result, though this operation has left the outer end of the strip frayed. The object is altogether more tidily and tightly constructed than the rolled sheet lead fishing weights whose construction it otherwise resembles, and the sheet is slightly thinner than that apt to structural use. Suggested date: Roman, 40-400.Length: 45.1mm, Diameter: 16mm, Weight: 63.53gms.
