Description: | Late Saxon Polyhedral weight of Scandinavian form, slightly pitted and corroded cube with the corners cut-off (fourteen-sided), each of six large faces has six stamped annulets within border of tiny stamped rectangles, 9 x 9mm, weighing 3.92g. At least four examples of similar polyhedral weights found near Sheffield have dots, each dot appearing to reflect a unit of around 0.68g. Using this formula the weight described here should weigh 4.08g and therefore is 0.16g (or 4%) underweight (Kruse in Med. Arch. 1992, 80-1).
