Description: | A complete cast lead object probably a weight or gaming piece of uncertain date.It is rectangular in form and section. The front and back face are have inlaid decoration consisting of a pair of wavy longitudinal lines that contain what appears to be inlaid iron, some of which is now missing due to old breaks. This object measures 41.11mm in length, 34.97mm in width, 14.37mm in thickness, 210.54g in weight.There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF-EB7D11), (LON-6A4983), (NMS-7F64B5), (NMS-05E756). These all suggest a variety of dates, however a later date seems most likely, perhaps in the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods.
