Description: | Tall lead weight, now a little damaged. The base is rectangular, measuring perhaps 12 x 17 mm, and has a damaged downwards projection forming a foot at each corner. In between, the base is slightly hollowed and has a dot at the centre. There are two large flat rectangular sides and two narrower triangular sides, rising to a ridge at the top; there is no suspension loop. It weighs 34.30g (1.21 oz), which is obviously not a round figure in the medieval and post-medieval avoirdupois system, so its date and function should remain tentative. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
