Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval steelyard balance. The steelyard would have originally been comprised of a pivited bar with two unequal arms. Only one arm of the balance survives. The arm is sub-oval in cross-section with one end terminating in an acorn knop while the other end terminates with an incomplete loop. Towards the terminal end there is a small notch in the arm of the object from which the weight may have been suspended. The object has a greenish brown patina and in in fair condition.
