Description: | A corroded lead weight of possible late medieval to post-medieval date. The suggested date for this piece is based on the fact that it is similar in form to coin weights of the period and may be an unofficial copy of one of these artefacts.
The piece is simple in form, consisting of a three dimensional square block and measuring 12.9mm on its side, by 5.5mm thick. The weight is 8.36g. The only discernable surface detail is an indented line border, which lies just in from the edges of each of the two square faces. | 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: | 1450
