Description: | Lead unidentified object. Small trrapezoid plate of cast lead sheet with a drilled hole of diameter 1.5 at its narrower end. Patinated overall. This resembles the clappers on early medieval klapperschmuck pins, though the acoustic properties of lead would be poor, and its appearance only striking when newly cast. The object appears too delicate to have served as a weight, and has not been distressed by any other use. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Medieval, 500-1500.Length: 21.7mm, Width: 9.1mm, Thickness: 1.8mm, Weight: 2.59gms.
