Title
A lead weight of unknown date
Description
English: A lead weight of unknown, probably modern, date. The weight is circular with an indistinct pattern on either side which consists of numerous lines radiating out from the centre where there are multiple peck marks . The piece measures 35.86mm in diameter, 3.95mm in thickness and weighs 34.51g, 1.214 ounces.

As it is not close to a round weight in the avoisdupois system it is likely it was used for weighing down fabric etc and the decoration was casually done.
