| Title |
A lead alloy pyramid-shaped weight |
||
| Description |
English: A Medieval - Post Medieval lead alloy pryamidal weight, probably a fishing weight. This weight has a rectangular base and four triangular sides rising to from a point. There is a perforation for suspension through the point. The base has an oval depression in the centre with concentric lines around the edge; this looks like the marks from where the molten metal was poured into the mould. There are five circular stamped marks on one of the larger faces arranged in a triangular pattern.
This weight was discovered near to an Anglo Saxon fishtrap on the Thames foreshore. Kevin Leahy and Helen Geake comment that these types of weights are very hard to date. The perforation appears to have been drilled which makes it unlikely to be Anglo Saxon. Kevin Leahy suggests this is most likely a fishing weight. Dimensions: height: 52.93mm; width: 46.25mm; thickness: 26.17mm; weight: g. |
