Description: | A cast lead fishing weight of the Medieval period, c. 1250-1450. The weight is of elongated lentoid form with an integrally cast suspension loop at the apex. There is a thick mid-rib running around the object.Weights of this form are thought to be net weights, and there are parallels from numerous sites across Britain which can be seen on this database, for example NARC-2C7714, NLM-A73311 and SF-C90EC4. This example is in good condition with a stable patinated surface of white-grey oxides.
