Description: | Lead alloy unidentified object. Cast pyramidal object with a square base, sharply defined arises between its slightly concave sides, and a hollow within the base. Patinated overall. The neat casting and smooth finish distinguishes this from the classes of facetted and conical weights which are usually considered to be of medieval date. The mass does not suggest close correspondence with any particular medieval or later metrical system. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1900.Height: 22.9mm, Length (base): 11.3mm, Width (base): 10.4mm, Weight: 4.20gms
