Description: | Lead vessel repair or pot mend. Cast oval plug to repair a hole in a vessel wall of thickness 1.7mm; patinated. Imprints on one side, perhaps the outer, suggest the mend was carried out while the vessel was stood on a coarsely woven fabric, perhaps sacking, whose imprint is preserved on its surface. The neat finish and small size might hint at a Roman date, but the almost complete absence of other Roman material, including ceramics, must commend a broader date range in this case. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1650.Length: 30.1mm, Width: 23.4mm, Thickness: 4.4mm, Weight: 15.00gms.
