Description: | Lead Weight. Cast plano-convex conical weight, with a dimple in the base perhaps the result of casting in an open mould. Patinated overall. The mass may suggest this to represent six (slightly underweight) Scandinavian units of 4.07gms as used in bullion transactions, or possibly (and again slightly underweight) the Viking Age ora/ore of c.24gms. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 865-1000.Diameter: 20.9mm, Height: 11.7mm, Weight: 23.08gms.
