Description: | Lead steelyard weight of conical form. It is crudely made and the iron bar/hook that was cast into the lead has not been pierced.Lead weights are generally difficult to date. Official weights of the medieval or post-med. period would have carried an maker's or other kind of official mark, but many of the inoffical and home-made weights that were also in circulation were plain and in most case, even the shape does not tell us much about their origin or time of use.
