Title
An unidentified object, a cast lead disc, of unknown date. Possibly a weight or an ingot.
Description
English: An unidentified object, a cast lead disc of unknown date. Diameter 47mm. Maximum thickness of 17mm and a minimum thickness of 13.5mm. Weight 221.77g. (7.825 ounces).

The object is sub-circular in plan with a flat upper surface surrounded by a circumferential raised rim. Viewing the edge, the sides are curved and slope inwards to join a rounded and uneven base. There are many indentations on the surfaces. However, these seem to have been created accidentally rather than by design.
