Description: | Lead and ironWeightCast plano-convex bun shaped weight, possibly converted from a steelyard weight. The initials IK appear moulded in relief on the convex surface. On the underside a smoothed stub of apparently ferrous metal may indicate where a loop has been cut off and roughly filed down. The style of lettering, with an ornamental short central horizontal bar across the middle of the upright stroke, may indicate a 17th-century date. The mass suggests this may represent one quarter of an averdepois pound. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700.Diameter: 32.7mm, Thickness: 19mm, Weight: 108.87gms
