Description: | Lead possible Curse Tablet. A rectangle of cast sheet of thickness 1.3mm tightly folded and then rolled into a tapering cylinder. The object is so tightly rolled and compressed as to forbid a use as a weight for a line running through its middle, though a cut on one side might have provided a tying groove. Patinated overall. The light gauge of the sheet and its neat compression differentiate this object from net weights of comparable form. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.Length: 34.6mm, Width: 11.5mm, Thickness (overall): 8.1mm, Weight: 13.33gms.
