Sinker for fishing net 1800

baked clay sinker stone, for fishing nets in the Dutch rivers from 1500 to 1900 this was the basic shape "netverzwaring ". Because of the extreme drought and low levels in the river it was easy to find them. Did not find a hunger stone but all these old sinkers also predict climate change!
