Description: | Lead probable Window Came fragment. Segment from a cast H section rod, with flanges of unequal thickness: 4.3mm and 2.2mm. All original surfaces retain a coating of black paint, and traces of a material resembling a gritty pale whitish mortar in the gutters between the flanges. The width of the gutters suggests use with a glass pane of c.6.5mm thickness. Though the use of cast rather than rolled came is characteristically medieval, both the crisp definition and painting of this object distinguish this object from medieval cames, while the glass would probably be of hand blown 'bulls eye' type as its inferred thickness exceeds that of most medieval window panes. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700.Length: 39.3mm, Width: 14.4mm, Thickness (at flanges): 9.5mm, Weight: 20.49gms.
