Description: | Possible cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1350 - 1700). The weight is sub-circular in plan and cross section. The front face is irregular and slightly domed. It is undecorated. The reverse face is also plain. The weight is a mid grey white colour with an uneven, slightly corroded, and abraded patina that covers all surfaces. A direct parallel for this weight has not been found. It is most likely to date from the later medieval or post medieval periods and have been used as an ounce and a half weight.
The weight measures 33mm in diameter and is 6.2mm thick. It weighs 41.87 grams or 1.48ozs (652 grains). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
