Description: | A cast lead alloy Medieval trade weight dating from AD 1300 - 1500. It is flat, shield shaped, and carries the device of a fleur de lis within an incised line border. The weight has a mass of just over 1.78oz and allowing for wear, was probably a 2oz weight. The edges and face are very worn. The weight is 34.8mm long, 29.3mm wide, 7.8mm thick and 50.78g. Similar weights are discussed and illustrated in Biggs and Withers, 2000, Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection, pages 34 - 40.
