Description: | Cast lead pan weight, circular in plan and flat in profile with a raised rim and base and recessed interiors. It has been crudely cast but some care has been taken in order to finish it. The weight is 108.4 grams which equates to just under 4 ounces or about a quarter of an averdepois pound.Read (2001) illustrates a similar pan weight with a raised rim on page 113, Fig.79, No.875, which is dated from the 17th to the 18th century.Bailey (1993) illustrates a very similar example on page 33, No.43, but does not date it.Biggs & Withers (2000) illustrate a similar example of a 4 ounce weight on page 54, Fig.5, but with a stamp that dates it to the Elizabethan period.
