Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A possibly complete cast lead alloy unidentified object of an unknown date, possibly a weight. The object is crudely shaped as a cube and is roughly trapezoidal in cross-section. The flattest face (possibly the base) has an overhanging edge, which is folded over in one corner. The vertical sides are slightly concave and expand slightly outwards towards the opposite (upper) face. The vertical sides are of unequal length, with a segment of one side projecting upwards and folded over onto the upper face. The object appears to be decorated with a series random marks and grooves.
