Description: | A small pyramidal shaped lead weight, with a rectangular base. The weight has four triangular faces. The four triangular faces meet at a flatten apex (possibly due to wear and corrosion). The faces are all irregular as the weight has been crudely made.
The base has had a crude wide groove cut into it, making the base appear concave.
The weight is undecorated but has a very rough surface.
A typology of lead weights has not yet been developed, so these weighs are not yet completely understood. Due to a lack of excavated examples these weights must remain undated. The weight appears to be complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour. | 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 |
