Description: | A large lead balancing weight. Although the remains of an iron handle running through the centre of the weight may suggest that it is a steelyard poise. The base is roughly circular, 35 mm in diameter and flat. The weight tapers outwards and upwards from the base for about 26mm before flattening out into a gently cone shape on top. The iron handle is heavily corroded. But survives as a blob of iron on the point of the cone. It is 40mm in height, at its widest it has a diameter of 44mm. It weighs 354g (12.5 oz). The plough has left a number of scars on the surface of the weight. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
