Description: | A lead alloy probable domed weight of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and is a tall rounded dome. It has no decoration or markings. The base is slightly hollow and there is a modern gouge on the edge. At 60g, or just over 2oz, it does not fit neatly into any weighing system, though could perhaps have been intended as a 2 oz weight. It is also possible it was used as a gamin piece. The lead has an uneven yellowish patina. There are no similar weights in Biggs and Withers.
