Description: | A cast lead trade weight of post-medieval date. The style of the subject matter depicted and of the letter (see below) suggest a date of 17th to 18th century.
The weight takes the form of a thin circular disc. On the upper surface, cast in relief, is the image of a right-facing bust. The figure, which has shoulder length hair, is of uncertain sex. At the centre of the reverse side is the incised letter 'W'.
The weight measures 25.2mm in diameter, 3.9mm thick and weighs 15.45g. | Subjects: | Trade | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
