Description: | Possibly medieval lead weight, conical in shape with four equidistant vertical ribs running from base to top, though not meeting. At both top and bottom is a piercing 5.6 and 3.5mm respectively, presumably running all the way through and now filled with earth.
The base of the weight measures 15.6mm in diameter, 18x18mm including the ribs. The top of the weight is 8.5mm in diameter. It stands 20.4mm high and weighs 23.90g.
It is possibly a fishing weight but its so (relatively) well made, it could perhaps be a domestic weight, maybe from a balance. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
