Description: | A cast copper-alloy folding balance of Medieval date, c 1200-1500. Just part of one arm survives. The arm has a flat triangular terminal at one end, with a suspension loop passing through the hole in the terminal. The arm is narrow and flat, with a cuboid moulding at the other end. This is very worn, so the break is not evident, but the arm would have continued beyond the moulding and articulated with a central element so the arm could fold up. The moulding has angled corners. There is no further decoration along the arm. A close parallel, but complete is NCL-C0C467.
