Description: | An incomplete cast lead standing weight of probable Medieval date. It is missing the top of the suspension loop due to old breaks. The weight is rectangular in form, square in section and with a flattened rounded base. At the top it tapers to produce a triangular profile, where there is the remains of a central circular perforation that served as a suspension loop. It measures 41.81mm in length, 23.93mm in width, 23.32mm in thickness, and weighs 135.17g.Similar Medieval standing weights are noted by Biggs (1992: pp. 40-41), which are dated to the Medieval period of the 12th-13th centuries AD and interpreted as being used as trade weights. This example is of similar date, c.1100-1300 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
