Description: | A lead weight of probable 13th to 15th century date. For similar weights, see Biggs and Withers 2000: 45.
The crudely-made weight takes the form of an elongated heart with a flat upper and lower surface. One surface bears a longitudinal groove and two hollows which appear to have been created while the cooling weight was being removed from the mould. The surface of the artefact is heavily pitted.
The object measures 71.9mm long, 48.2mm wide and 20mm thick. It weighs 440.3g, which is just short of the averdepois pound weight of 454g (see Biggs and Withers: 34-5). | Subjects: | Heart-shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
