Description: | Octagonally facetted conical lead weight, 13.5 mm in diameter at the base and 19 mm tall. Very carefully made, with a small hole running up from a depression in the base to emerge at the top. It weighs 14.36g (0.50 oz), and must have lost some weight through oxidation, so that if it was made as a half-ounce avoirdupois trade weight it would originally have been slightly over-weight (to the disadvantage of the trader). Probably medieval. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
