Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small lump of lead with a crudely ovoid piece of bluish-green glass included into its upper surface, giving the impression of a fish eye. The object has a flat base and an oval outline when viewed from above, the lead forming a ring around the glass. A brown substance is present underneath and around the glass, though whether this is an adhesive or a different lead corrosion product from the white powdery oxide of the rest of the surface is uncertain.
