Description: | A circular lead trade weight of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is circular in shape, 27.27mm in diameter, 6.73mm in thickness and weighs 28.41g, the equivalent of one ounce on the 'binary' averdepois system (see Biggs, 1993: pp. 44). The upper surface of this example is moulded, possibly in the shape of a fish head, although this is not entirely certain. It is likely to be a local trade weight probably dating to the period between c.1390 and the end of the seventeenth century AD. See Biggs, 1993: pp. 44-47. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
