Description: | Cast copper alloy cup weight. The rim is decorated with a series of 18 pelleted annulets. The diameter of the rim is 16mm and the depth is 7mm. The rim is 2mm in width. This cup weight is one of the smaller cups from a nested set of weights. Dating from the 13th century onwards these types were used to weigh gold and silver, and so accuracy was essential. This can be seen on outer surface of the weight by a series of adjustment file marks. A weight box containing one of its original weights is illustrated in Saunders, p130, fig 43, #28a~b. The rim of the cup weight on this find was also decorated with 18 pelleted annulets. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
