Description: | A Medieval trade weight; Cast, lead shield-shaped weight probably dating from the 13th-16th centuries. It is an example of Biggs and Withers' double lis standard type ('Lead weights' by Biggs & Withers). The weight is undecorated on the back face and has a smaller, raised section on the front face. The front of the weight bears a 'border' which runs around the edge of the face, surrounding the double lis. The weight is worn and damaged on the front and back, which has obviously sustained a large number of knocks and abrasions. Length 72.22mm, width 62.2mm, thickness 14.77mm, weight 442g (or 15.625oz). There are parallels to this in 'Lead weights' (Biggs & Withers, pages 41, no. 104-111). See also record number DENO-F257D3 from PAS database.
