Description: | A late medieval or early post-medieval lid from a box or 'house' for a set of nested cup weights. Circular, with six pairs of projecting lobes (which would have corresponded with equidistant vertical buttresses on the missing box) and a rectangular projection with an integral loop on the reverse for a hinge. The opposing edge is damaged where the catch is missing, and there is an irregular hole in the centre where a handle is missing. The upper face is decorated with multiple small ring-and-dots forming a concentric line bordering the outside edge, the remains of a central cross-crosslet, and a single ring-and-dot on the rectangular projection. The lid's diameter is approximately 47mm (excluding the rectangular projection), and it dates from the 15th-16th century. Compare with Houben (1984) 8-10.
