Description: | Copper alloy stirrup or pivot arm fragment of a trebuchet or tumbrel-type coin balance. The arm is broken at the central slot, where at the sides there are two opposing holes designed to take the pin on which the balance beam pivoted. The arm appears to have an acorn-style terminal with an incised criss-cross decoration along the face. The underside of the arm is concave. Balances of this type were used to check the weights of specific coins.
