Description: | A copper-alloy balance pan. The pan weighs 3.09g, has a diameter of 36.91mm and is 0.51mm thick. A floral design decorates the centre of the upper surface of the pan, this design takes up an area that has an 11.07mm diameter. There are three small circular perforations that each have a diameter of 0.94mm which would have allowed the pan to be suspended. The lower surface of the balance pan is smooth and undecorated. The date of this scale pan is uncertain but is likely to be Medieval although the date could range from Early Medieval through to Post-Medieval.See PAS records for similar examples: NMS-66E752, NMS-B608B1, NMS-5E55C2, BH-F100F5, NARC-1996F6, NMS-072E41, NMS-D40EC8, IOW-8646E6, NAR-C2574, SF7506.See Egan, G.1998, p.322-326, fig.240-241.
