The more I look at these, the more counterproductive a vessel for a surrender/free passage note, they seem.
Its not really an object, that the enemy will assemble around, in case it lands in their midst, LOL.
It must have been for the sole purpose of having a (weighted) delievery system suitable for throwing it far enough (and for making sure the note got there intact of course). They simply took, what they had at hand and utilized that.
Super interesting relic none the less of course. In fact, its interesting how hitherto unknown objects (unknown to me) can and will still turn up.
Human ingenuity know no bounds (especially in times of distress and dire straits).
