Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rutland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified and undated object made of a crudely cast white metal, likely a lead alloy. It is round in plan with a D-shaped cross-section and very slightly concave reverse. It has a grey patina, although in some narrow areas on the reverse, the patina is worn through to expose a more lustrous light metal. There seems to be a very thin, separately made metal layer fixed at the reverse to the main body of the object. This layer is now bent upwards or downwards the edges in some places, the result of damage over time.
