Description: | Cast lead weight, oval in plan and slightly convex in profile, with what look like a failed mark in the centre of the concave side. The mark my have been a crown, like the example, of similar length and thickness, illustrated in Egan (1998) on page 317, Fig.236, No.1014, which is dated to ceramic phase 12, c.1400-1450. These stamped crowns were presumably related to official checks for accuracy. Its weight is 338g which equates to about 12 ounces aver de pois or three quarters of a pound, so it seems to be of a standard weight. | 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: | 1400
