Description: | A conical lead alloy standing weight of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date, circa (AD 1300 - 1700). The apex is a rounded knop and measures 9.38mm in diameter. There is a centrally placed rectangular indentation on the upper surface of the apex, this measures 5.14 mm in length. The sides of the weight flare to the rounded flat base with a diameter measuring 23.8mm. The outer faces of the weight are decorated with four vertical ribs that are fairly evenly spaced around the circumference of the weight. On one side there is the design of a triangle, comprised of a moulded raised rib. The weight has a well-developed cream coloured patina across all surfaces. The weight is 1 ΒΌ oz. This example is a similar weight to (HESH-275213) which is suggested as dating to the Medieval Period. The weight stands at 18.3mm in height with a base diameter of (max) 23.8mm and weighs 35.57 grams or (547 grains or 1.25 ozs).
