Lead From The Seine, 16th Century
A 16th-century figurative lead weight from the Seine, depicting a standing figure holding a staff or scepter. The deliberately stylized silhouette is typical of the small cast lead weights found in the Seine riverbed during major works or dredging projects in the 19th century. These objects, now called "Seine lead weights," include weights, seals, tokens, and figurines produced between the Middle Ages and the modern era, often linked to river trade, guilds, or urban exchange.
