Description: | Cast lead circular weight of Unknown date. Diameter 26.5mm and 6.2mm thick. Weight 30.04g. (1.059 ounces). The weight is circular in plan and in the form of a flat disc with convex edges. At the centre is a sub-circular perforation , about 5mm in daimeter. The rim of the perforation on each face is slightly raised and parts are burred over towards the opening. This is probably the remains of unfettled casting sprue. The faces of the perforation appear not to be worn. The surfaces have many indentations which appear to have been created by accident rather than design. Although the weight is worn it is in good condition. | 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 |
