Description: | A Medieval trade weight; cast, lead shield-shaped weight probably dating from the 13th-16th centuries. It is an example of Biggs and Withers' double lis standard type. The weight is undecorated on the back face and has a smaller, raised section on the front face. The front of the weight bears a border which runs around the edge of the face, surrounding the double lis. At 1.9oz it was probably intended to be a 2 oz weight. There is a large raised pellet at the base of the weight. The weight shows some signs of wear on the front face but is otherwise undamaged. The weight has a creamy light brown patina. Please see Lead Weights (Biggs & Withers) page 41, numbers 104 and 105.Length: 37.2mm; Width: 29.8mm; Thickness: 10.4mm; Weight: 54.3g
