Description: | Incomplete Medieval - Post Medieval stone mould for a faceted object with an Omega symbol carved upon one side. The mould is trapezoidal in profile and sub rectangular in section, upon either side of the carved mould there is a small hole that has been drilled to accomodate a small peg, that would help align the other half of the mould. The bottom of the mould is broken and so the original shape of the finished object can't be guessed. The upper surface of the mould has a series of three concentric semicircles engraved into it with a single line bisecting them. The mould itself is dived into two parts, the first, upper, part has four smooth facets that run down the mould, tapering inwards. The lower section is recessed and smooth, semicircular in section, in the center of it there is an upside down Omega symbol decorated with indentations that would have been pellets when cast. The break in the mould runs very close to the Omega's edge. There is an additional indentation upon the side exterior surfaces of the mould, presumable to help with the alignment of the two halves of the mould. The exterior surface of the mould has five facets where the corners have been planed down.Height: 34.57mmWidth: 39.07mmThickness: 21.95mmWeight: 50.64g
