Description: | A lead alloy, shield shaped trade weight probably dating from 1350-1500AD. It is an 8oz weight. It is of the standard crowned-lis design, which is more common in the North. The design is an open crown above a fleur-de-lis all within a raised border. It is 64.4mm long, 51.7mm wide and 10.4 mm thick. It weighs 225gm. Shield shaped weights are discussed in Biggs and Withers (2000) and similar examples can be seen on page 40. Some of these weights may have continued to be used into the 17th century.
