Title
A Medieval Weight (front)
Description
English: An incomplete lead-alloy trade weight of Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1380 - 1600). The weight is shield shaped with a moulded design on the face. The reverse is flat and undecorated with a deep, rounded hole off-centre. The design on the face appears to be a crude depiction of a bird in flight. There is a deep triangular-shaped notch cut into the left side of the weight just above the pointed terminal. The metal has a light brown patina with darker grey patches.

The overall dimensions are as follows: 57mm long, 50mm wide, 12mm in thickness and weighs 204.97g.
