Description: | A lead-alloy cup, probably representing a dice shaker and dating from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods.The cup is now crumpled but would originally have been of truncated-conical form. Above the flat base, the straight sides flare, towards the open top, where a rim has been created by folding the edge outwards.Width: 48.5mm; diameter of base: 29.9mm; height: 34.9mm. Weight: 92.15g.Dice and dice shakers are difficult to date with any degree of certainty. A similar vessel, containing a lead die, is PAS record LIN-47EE46, which was assigned a possible post-medieval date. A wider date range is given for this example
