Description: | A lead alloy Medieval shield shaped trade weight dating from about AD 1250 - 1500. It has a mass of 213g suggesting that it is a half pound (8oz) weight in one of the Avoirdupois system of a 16oz or 15oz pound (see Egan's The Medieval Household, 2010). The weight has slightly angled sides so the front face is smaller than the base, but any design on the front is now illegible. The weight has a smooth cream coloured patnia. It is 52.8mm long, 39.8mm wide and 15.3mm thick. 213g.
