Description: | Cast copper alloy trade weight of probable eighteenth or nineteenth century date (AD 1700 ? AD 1900). Diameter 23mm, 5mm thick. Weight 13.01g. (0.459 oz). The weight is circular in plan and the edges slope gently outwards and upwards from the base. The upper face is recessed and has a six-pointed star motif which is slightly off-centre. The arms of the star are wedge-shaped. There is an ewer at 6 o? clock. The weight has possibly been ?over-stamped? with initials ?CS? divided by two conjoined circles. The upper surface is smooth and the lower surface appears to have a casting flaw. There is a mid-green patina overall. | 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: | 1700
