Description: | A medieval, shield-shaped lead alloy weight dating from c. 1400-1600AD. The upper side is decorated with a raised, smaller shield, delineated by a groove. The device on the shield is largely illegible, but is possibly a crowned fleur-de-lis. Weights with this design are commonly found in the north of England. It is 43.1mm long, 33.2mm wide, and 12.1mm thick. The Metric weight is 113.4gm; the Imperial weight is exactly 4 ounces. Similar examples can be seen in Biggs, N. and Withers, P. Lead Weights, The David Rogers Collection, such as p. 40, No. 103.
