Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Leeds
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A rolled strip of lead of unknown date, 200 BC - AD 1900. It is a tightly rolled strip of sheet lead which is about 1.3mm thick and 11.9mm wide, now forming an approximate cylinder of 9.8mm wide and 7.9mm thick. 6.6g.
