Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy weight dating from c. AD 1540- c. AD 1900. The object weighs 55.92g, so it was probably originally intended as a two ounce weight. The item is conical in overall shape and the base is circular with slightly upturning sides. A circular perforation runs through the whole length of the object, narrowing towards the top. Presumably strong twine or wire was pushed through the hole for attachment to weighing scales and/or storage. Diameter of base: 28mm; length: 22.5mm..
