Description: | Cast lead trade weight or net weight, a flat rectangular prism in profile, with an integral attachment loop with a perforation hole of about 5 mm in diameter. The base is triangular in section and not flat enough so that the weight can stand. It is 33.7 mm in length, 17 mm in width and 9.6 mm in thickness at it base and 6 mm in thickness at its attachment loop. The weight weighs about 27.83 grams which equates to about one ounce averdepois.
Biggs & Withers (2000) illustrate a similar weight on page 31, No.67, which is probably medieval.
Egan (1998) illustrates a similar example on page 321, Fig.239, No.1033, which is dated to c.AD 1200-1230.
