Description: | LeadWeight. Cast rectangular weight, with a border surrounding a sunken field on one side; a design in relief apparently depicts a crown with three pellets in a row beneath it. On the flat reverse, fine scratches appear to combine a cross and a saltire (as in the Union Jack). Though of a form distinct from shield-shaped weights bearing the leopards of England, whose quasi-official status is suspected, this object is similar in its mass to smaller members of that class. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1400. Length: 46.3gms, Width: 37.4mm, Thickness: 8.7mm, Weight: 127.93gms.
