Lead grille
A small, corroded lead object shaped as a grid of two vertical bars crossed by six horizontal rungs, forming twelve open cells. Its edges are rough and broken, with a pitted, grayish surface, and it is photographed centered against a plain pale backdrop.
Look closer: Small broken edge and a corroded lower-right foot that look like losses from burial.
