Description: | Cast lead conical free-standing steelyard weight or poise with iron square-section shank,4mm thick, protruding from the top of the weight and running through the weight towards the base, to within 12mm of the base, where there is a circular hole, about 5mm in diameter and 12mm deep. It weighs 81.73g which equates to about three ounces avoirdupois. Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example of a free-standing steelyard weight with an iron loop at the top on page 31, No.4.Egan (2005) illustrates and lists conical free-standing pendent weights with similar diameters on page 164, Fig.161, Nos.845 & 849, which are dated to the 16th century.
