Title
Medieval Steelyard Weight
Description
English: Lead Steelyard Weight. Improvised steelyard poise made by folding thick lead sheet of structural gauge (up to 4mm in thickness) into a tapering round ended form. An aperture of diameter c.7.5mm has been pierced at the curved end to permit suspended use. Heavily patinated overall. The steelyard was reintroduced to England by Hanseatic merchants in the later middle ages. The mass is a little over two averdepois ounces, though the use of a steelyard beam did not depend on weights respecting any particular system of measurement. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1500.

Height: 42.3mm, Width: 34.8mm, Thickness (overall): 8.5mm, Weight: 61.19gms.
