Description: | A cast lead pendant weight, perhaps a net weight of probable Medieval date. It is trapezoidal in section and at one end there is an integral suspension loop with an oval perforation. It is 56.9mm long, 15.7mm wide and 14.4mm thick. It weighs 68.93gm. A similar object is illustrated but not discussed on page 311 of Medieval Households. There are also numerous examples on the database, usually suggested to be net weights for fishing or birding, for example LANCUM-D0A1E6.
