Description: | Medieval copper alloy nesting cup weight decorated around the top of the rim with twenty-two punched ring-and-dot impressions. Basal diameter 17.5mm. Rim diameter 21mm. Height 10mm. Weight 13.30g (205.2 grains). This is extremely close to one of a set of six weights (13.29g) from Aldersgate in London which may belong to the reigh of Edward IV and was considered to be of the avoirdupois system (Egan 1998, 310, no. 976). If so, this example, at 0.4695oz, is 6.1% underweight for ½ ounce. 14th - 15th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
