Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy unidentified object. Cast bun-shaped object with a flat-topped sub-spherical body, possibly a handle, above a sharply stepped moulded part from which projects a rounded pad with a possible character in low relief.

Lead weight. Cast plano-convex or conical weight with an originally central moulded aperture tapering from a basal diameter of 5.5mm to an apical diameter of 2mm, the latter perhaps enlarged by wear. About one third of the object has been removed by a straight cut; the extent of thick white patina suggests this took place in antiquity. The hole would be apt to use as a line weight. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1200-1500. Diameter: 26.3mm, Height: 14.9mm, Weight: 42.59gms.
