Fragment bestaande uit een klompje lood met in het midden een gaatje c. 1590 - 1596

This small, irregularly shaped, lead fragment dates to the late 16th century and is on display in the Rijksmuseum. It is a simple object with a single hole in the center. While the artist is unknown, it serves as a reminder of the artistic practice of the time, which often incorporated found objects and materials. The lead fragment is a compelling example of the artistry that can be found in the most unexpected of places.
