Description: | A cast lead shield-shaped weight of late Medieval to early Post-Medieval date, c. 1400-1600.The weight is shield-shaped, bearing a wider lower tier, and an inset second tier of equal thickness and shape, bearing the three heraldic lions of England on its face. The face of the first tier between the edge and the base of the second tier bears pellets contained within a waved-shaped border. Centred in the top of the second tier is a rectangular hole that runs through the thickness of the entire weight, presumably to enable suspension of the weight.The reverse bears no decoration.
