Description: | Lead Trough. Cast open receptacle with one flat end and one thicker curved end. The base is flat and the sides near-vertical except at the curved end, which is both stepped and thickened with traces of either casting flash or a thinner upper part, now lost. The object bears a thin off-white powdery deposit within, but lacks any other trace of patination on its outer surfaces. Torn at its mid point, possibly in a single episode which gashed both sides. The object could have been intended to receive liquids, perhaps water for a birdcage or a painter's easel. The lack of surface patina argues a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.Length: 72.2mm, Width: 21.3mm, Height: 16.3mm, Thickness (at curved end): c.6mm, Weight: 71.75gms.
