Description: | A complete cast, Post Medieval lead-alloy weight. AD 1600-1800. The weight is conical with a domed crown from which the body gently tapers to a flat base which has a small circular indentation. The weight was formed by pouring molten lead into a thimble casing then allowing it to cool. Concentric pits are present around the top of the object and from these indentations of incised lines follow a spiral pattern around the circumference of the body to the base. Although this object has been described as a weight, it may also be a gaming piece. It is greenish grey in colour. The weight is 18.9mm tall, 15.7 mm diameter at the base and 14mm at the top. It weighs 31.91 grams.A similar object is recorded on the data base YORYM-CE5707
