Description: | Complete cast lead alloy conical standing weight of probable Late Medieval to post Medieval date. Due to the simplistic fabrication of the item it is difficult to identify and date with certainty. With a weight of 12.6g there is a parallel to 1/2 oz which adds some support to the identification of the item as a small standing weight. Some other lead alloy conical pieces have been identified as Early Medieval gaming pieces but these are typically more decorative in form.This item is therefore dated broadly c.1400-1800.
