Description: | A cast lead alloy Medieval trade weight probably dating from AD 1300 - 1500. It is flat, triangular and plain. The weight has a mass of 3 and 7/8 oz and allowing for wear, was probably a 4oz weight. The edges and face are worn. The weight is 42.8mm long, 34mm wide, 12.15mm thick and 111g. Similar weights, especially decorated ones, are discussed and illustrated in Biggs and Withers, 2000, Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection, pages 34 - 40.
