Description: | A copper alloy weight of probably Medieval date. It is circular with slightly angled sides. The front has a central concave area. The concavity is decorated with an incised cross with three stamped circular depressions in each quarter, very like the reverse of a Medieval coin. The flat outer area is decorated with a band of similar dots. The weight has a mass of 28.28g which is almost 1oz. 28.4g was the standard mass for 1oz in the Avoirdupois system from about 1280 onwards (The Medieval Household). The weight has a rough red green patina.
