A lead object of uncertain purpose and date.
The object is semi cylindrical in shape as it has a flat base and has been purposefully filled with a form of ceramic, possibly clay. Around the central surface of the object are two fine grooves which go all the way around the object. One end is closed off by lead with a broadly D shaped perforation, whilst the other remains open, exposing the ceramic filling.
The object is 11.43mm in length, 13.81mm in width, and 10.89 in thickness. It weighs 12.94g.
