Description: | Medieval weight; cast lead standing weight of probable medieval date. The weight is roughly a rectangular pyramid with a hole pierced through the top to make a suspension loop, probably for safekeeping (as Biggs suggests). It is undecorated. The metal has a thick, grey-white patina over its surface, which is somewhat pitted throughout.
Length 31.8mm, width 20.3mm, thickness 13.3mm, weight 35.48g
