Description: | Copper alloy and iron with black paintWeight. Cast plano-convex or hemispherical flat-based weight with ferrous corrosion at its apex suggesting the former presence of a suspension loop. The black coating and fresh condition may suggest a post-medieval or later date. The mass does not appear to relate to known standards, but the suspension loop may indicate use with a small beam balance, which would not require the poise to be of a particular weight. Suggested date: Possibly Post-Medieval, 1500-1800.Diameter: 15.8mm, Height: 14.7mm, Weight: 11.42gms.
