Description: | Cast lead weight probably dating from the Medieval to Post-Medieval period. The weight is in the shape of a face. The top of the object is decorated with radiating grooves, possibly meant to represent a hat or hair. The eyes are oval and the noise long and narrow. The mouth is oval and there is a slightly raised chin. The reverse of the object has an oval irregular groove where the object has been infilled with lead. This indicates that it was made to represent a particular weight as was its function. The object has a light-brown patina and is in good condition.
