Description: | A pear shaped, lead steelyard weight, probably of Medieval or Post Medieval date, AD1200-1800. It is unmarked and damaged, with deep grooves into the lead. It would probably have had a suspension loop, but this is missing. There is no evidence of iron corrosion either. The weight has a creamy, light grey patina. It is 39.9mm in diameter and 46.3mm high. It weighs 388 gm (13.7 oz). As the loop is missing, it is possible that this was originally a one pound weight.A similar weight can be found on the database at reference: SWYOR-43E923.
