Description: | : Lead weight. Cast sub-rectangular weight with one curved end and flat sides. A central moulded longitudinal aperture of diameter 3.3mm passes through the centre. It is flanked on the flat base by two blind holes of similar size, perhaps intended to assist removal of the object from its mould, which was open at this end. Very lightly patinated. The provision for stringing suggests this to be a fishing line weight, perhaps for maritime or seaside use, and the excellent condition argues it to be of recent date. Suggested date: Modern 1950-2000.Length: 38.8mm, Width: 29.1mm, Thickness: 12.4mm, Weight: 98.71gms.
