Roman lead object
A broken ladder-shaped object. It has a slight curve which appears to be original and one edge has a slight flange. The series of square holes which form the ladder which were cast into the original, has been expanded by the use of square-shanked nails or tacks. This object was probably used as spacer on some object which was covered with sheet and decorated with nails.
