Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy folding balance arm from a medieval balance. The cylindrical solid arm is oval in cross section and tapers to an integral D-shaped perforated lug. In between the lug and the arm is a cubic expansion with faceted corners and ring-and-dot decoration on each face. The surviving length of the arm is 101.91mm, the thickness at the widest end is 8.0mm and the weight is 19.14g. An exact parallel is in Biddle, 1990, Vol. II, P.922, No.3211 and is dated mid 13th to 14th century.
