Description: | A fragment of copper alloy steelyard weight with heraldic decoration. Fragments of the wall of the globular, hollow weight only. Originally the weightwould have been filled with lead. The fragment is decorated with a raised shield-shaped boss with indistinct decoration which may be a crude version of the Eagle displayed emblem seen on similar weights.Date: Medieval - c.1250-1300 AD.Dimensions: 31.09mm x 21.65mm x 2.86mmWeight: 11.03gThis is similar to a complete example recorded on the database in record SOM-FDCC33. It is similar to weights described in Ward-Perkins, 1940,The London Museum Medieval Catalogue, p.172. However, provincial weights if this design carry psuedo-heraldic designs.
