Description: | A circular, cast lead alloy artifact, probably a pan weight, though at a mass of 32.06gm (1.13oz) it does not seem to match any standard weight system. The upper side has an inscribed circle, some distance in from the edge, giving a broad rim 6.5mm wide. In the centre of the circle three characters are inscribed. The first two may be 5 and o; the last is indecipherable. Beneath this inscription is a smaller circle which cuts into both the rim and the central section. There are further characters or symbols around the rim but these are also indecipherable. The underside is flat and unmarked. The style of the lettering suggests a post-medieval date. It is 30.7mm in diameter and 4.7mm thick. There is no evidence of attachment or suspension suggesting it is not a seal.
