Description: | Lead Weight. Cast rectangular weight, patinated overall. The mass may suggest this to represent three Scandinavian units (of 4.07gms) for the weighing of bullion. Although multiple values represented by such weights are more frequently even numbers of units, this is also equivalent to one half of a Viking Age ounce of c.24gms. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 865-1000.Length: 15.7mm, Width: 14.6mm, Thickness: 5.8mm, Weight: 12.59gms.
