Description: | A crudely cast, shield shaped lead weight, dating from 1200-1500AD. The weight is uniface; the upper surface carrying a non-standard design of a star with six arms (or a very simplified double fleur de lis?). It is 54.3mm long, 41.6mm wide and 8.3mm thick. It weighs 98.38gm. Similar non-standard weights carring a saltire design are known; see Biggs and Withers, Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection, page 43, number 119. It weighs 3.47oz so was probably intended to be a 4oz weight. It may be a locally produced unofficial weight.
