About this work

This lead sinker emerged from a lump of concretions. This rolled lead sheet is silver-grey and once formed part of the line of a fishing net (at the top of the standing trawl or on a beam trawl). These nets are either from the TVliegend Hart itself or from fishermen who lost their nets at the wreck. Roll of lead.
