Description: | Medieval weight; cast lead shield-shaped weight of probable 15th century date. Large weight with a narrower outer border and raised inner shield. The shield is very worn but has indications of three horizontal motifs, suggesting the three leopards of England. The back face is flat and undecorated. The whole has a thick, white-brown patina, except for two areas on the front face where the surface has been scraped off, presumably whilst the weight was buried.Length 62.6mm, width 55.8mm, thickness 22.5mm, weight c.490g
