Description: | Medieval copper alloy steelyard weight, hollow-cast globular, with flanking lobes at springing of both ends of looped handle at apex, the damaged body is decorated with radiating and radial incised lines and there is a small circular perforation (10mm) in the base. The body would have originally been filled with lead. Diameter 40mm. Height 54mm. Of broadly similar form to armorial steelyard weights such as those shown in Ward-Perkins (1967) plate XXXVIII and Cherry 1991, fig.13. Probably dates to the second half of the thirteenth century.
