Description: | Very roughly made, approximately circular, plano-convex lead weight. On the flat surface twenty-seven impressions were probably made with a bone or stick when the metal was molten. Their purpose is uncertain. They may have been crudely decorative rather than indicative of the weight measurement. Weighing 178.42g / 5.736oz troy, so probably 4.4% underweight for ½ pound (i.e. 6oz) troy. Diameter 44-49mm. Height / thickness 15mm. perhaps medieval, c.1100 - c.1300, but not closely datable. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
