Description
Raw, molten(?) lead. Large amorphous piece of lead, smooth on one side and rough on other. Rounded projections along sides seem to reflect creation of this piece by pouring molten lead onto a surface and the pool slowly spreading.
Preservation description
Mostly intact but edges torn away? Slight, sparse encrustation.
