| Description: | Rectangular mold with three pour-channels leading from one edge into six circular depressions (almost equal in size) connected with each other by small channels. In the center of each of these is a small circular depression, and four of the six have grooves around these central depressions. At one corner of the mold are two small holes, and another in the center of the opposite edge. In addition to the pour-channels, there are two small outlets for surplus metal at two opposite sides. The central depressions and surrounding grooves are not characteristic of lead seals. If this is not a mold for seals, it might have been for some kind of ornaments. | |
