An unidentified lead object, possibly a terminal, of unknown date. The object is made up of two strips of crudely shaped lead folded around each other. The primary piece has a rounded pointed end which has been folded around upon itself. Underneath this folded end is a secondary smaller strip of lead which has been folded around the larger strip, underneath the folded tip, with its terminals not quite meeting on the face of the larger strip. The reverse of the object has a slight lip at the end opposite the folded tip. There is also a cut or tear on the face of the object at this same end.
The overall dimensions are as follows: 37.54mm in length, 12.26mm in width, 8.93mm in thickness and 10.8g in weight.
