Description: | Part of a cast lead alloy Medieval trade weight dating from AD 1300 - 1500. It is flat, and triangular, but is probably just the lower corner of a larger triangular or shield shaped weight. It is decorated with the lower part of a fleur de lis symbol. The edges of the weight are abraded, but the upper edge is not straight and there is a bubble or casting flaw visible, suggesting that it is a worn break. The fragment is 16.4mm long, 14.7mm wide and 4.91mm thick. 6.19g. It has a well developed cream patina. Similar weights are discussed and illustrated in Biggs and Withers, 2000, Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection, pages 34 - 40.
