Description: | A large lead balancing weight. Although the remains of an iron handle running through the centre of the weight may suggest that it is a steelyard poise. The base is roughly circular, 35 mm in diameter and flat. The weight tapers outwards and upwards from the base for about 26mm before flattening out into a gently cone shape on top. The iron handle is heavily corroded. But survives as a blob of iron on the point of the cone. It is 40mm in height, at its widest it has a diameter of 44mm. It weighs 354g (12.5 oz). The plough has left a number of scars on the surface of the weight. | Subjects: | Lead | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
