Description: | A damaged and incomplete lead alloy probable plaque or possible trade weight dating from the Medieval to Post Medieval period, c.1300-1800 . The item is flat, and either square or shield shaped - it is distorted through damage. The plaque is divided into four quarters by a raised long cross and an outer raised rim. The content of only one quarter survives and is the letter I (or J).For an example of a shield shaped weight with a different design see: SWYOR-0F40D4 dated AD 1300 - 1500.The lettering on the item is more indicative of a post Medieval date, hence the reason for the broad dating of this item.Similar weights are discussed and illustrated in Biggs and Withers, 2000, Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection, pages 34 - 40.
