Description: | Incomplete cast teardrop-shaped lead weight of unknown date. Length 47mm, maximum diameter 32mm. Weight 253.18g. (8.929 ounces). The weight has a central longitudinal circular perforation which is about 3.5mm in diameter. The perforation probably accommodated a suspension loop at the top and perhaps a hook at the bottom to suspend another weight. This weight may have been associated with a steelyard. Although the weight is in fair condition, the surface has many old scuffs, scratches and indentations over which there is a grey/brown coloured patina. | 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: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
