Description: | A 17th Century brass apothecaries weight. The weight exhibits the characteristic symbols of an apothecaries weight. Both flat surfaces of the weight depict a rose (at the top of the weight) and the letters WL (at the bottom of the weight). There is also a small circle etched into the brass just above the gap between the W and the L. The engraved design is the same on both sides of the weight apart from the fact that one is upside down (depending upon which side of the weight you are looking at). The longest edges of the weight has been chamfered, which means that one surface of the weight is wider that the other. The weight is almost square. | Subjects: | Apothecaries WL | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
