Description: | Lead steelyard weight of conical form. It is crudely made and the iron bar/hook that was cast into the lead has not been pierced.
Lead weights are generally difficult to date. Official weights of the medieval or post-med. period would have carried an maker's or other kind of official mark, but many of the inoffical and home-made weights that were also in circulation were plain and in most case, even the shape does not tell us much about their origin or time of use. | 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 | Creator: | Dot Boughton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
