Description: | A copper-alloy weight of probable Late Medieval to early post-Medieval date.
The weight takes the form of a thin circular disc. At the centre is a slightly raised ring with a small circular depression containing an unidentified white substance. This raised moulding is mirrored on the reverse and suggests that the object was turned on a lathe. Numerous concentric grooves and ridges on the reverse support this theory. On the upper surface are an inner and outer pair of deliberate, decorative rings.
The artefact measures 59.9mm in diameter, 5.4mm thick and weighs 103.35g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
