Description: | Copper alloy weight fragment. Partially melted fragment of a cup-shaped weight from a nesting set, with a tall wall, a slight external rim and a series of three possibly lathe-made circumferential lines around its outer surface. Weight sets resembling this form were imported from Nuremburg in the early post-medieval period. Rust within is perhaps from another object in contact with this when it was melted; mixed materials may suggest this occurred accidentally rather than as part of an episode of recycling, though a fire would have been fierce to distort a copper alloy object in this way. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1650.Diameter (at rim): 37mm, Height: 27.1mm, Thickness: 7.4mm, Weight: 27.75gms.
