Description: | Cast lead trade weight or net weight, a flat rectangular prism in profile. The base is almost square in section and flat enough so that the weight can stand. It is 29 mm in length, 21 mm in width and 17 mm in thickness at it base and 9 mm in thickness at its top. The weight weighs about 52.69 grams which equates to about two ounces 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.
