Description: | A cast, lead alloy pan weight, probably dating from the medieval period, AD1200-1500. It is circular, with a flat base and slightly tapering sides. The top is also flat and is marked with an impressed, rectangular cartouche containing a design, which may be a letter, though it is impossible to be certain. It weighs 116.78gm (4 ounces) and is probably a trader's weight, though this weight is also equivalent to a half-mark or sixty pence sterling under the Tower weight system and it may therefore be a bullion weight. The weight is 33.6mm in diameter and 14.6mm thick.
