Description: | Cast lead fishing weight, ovate in plan, plano-convex in profile and in section, with tapering ends, which have been pinched and perforated with circular holes, 5 mm in diameter to suspend the rope or net at either end. This weight was most likely tied onto a fishing line or sewn into nets, due to its size and shape, and these are commonly found in Cornwall, but are difficult to date.See a similar but more lentoid weight recorded in CORN-6CCC57.
