Title
Early Medrieval Weight from Cowick
Description
English: Lead

Weight. Cast plano-convex weight. The surface is pitted which may suggest difficulty in casting, corrosion or perhaps exposure to heat. The form relates this object to a series of Early Medieval weights - and some possible playing pieces - reported from the region. The mass is twice that of a drum shaped flat-based casting from Flixborough which is itself suggested (Wastling 2009, page 424, no. 3286) to have represented two units of measurement. Alternatively, this may have represented eight units of one of the Viking Age systems: a Scandinavian one based on units of 4.07gms and a Dublin standard based on units of 4.43gms. Suggested date: Possibly Early Medieval, 700-1000.

Diameter: 20mm, Height: 16.6mm, Weight: 33.90gms.
