Description: | A cast lead steelyard weight with an iron suspension loop. The weight is biconical in shape and measures 56.19 mm high, 42.52 mm wide. It weighs 376.4 grams. Lead weights can be difficult to date as their function did not change over many centuries, although based on the form and the inclusion of an iron suspension loop it is suggested that this example may be Roman in date. The iron loop is corroded and the weight has a cream to white patina.
