Title
Post-Medieval Steelyard Weight
Description
English: A complete cast lead steelyard weight of probable Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1500 – c. AD 1800). Length: 37.0mm; width: 19.7mm; thickness: 18.9mm; weight: 82.39g (2.9040 ounces).

The main body of the weight is octagonal in cross-section. It has a narrow shouldered suspension lug, rectangular in cross-section, with a circular perforation. On the underside there is a depression which appears to be a casting imperfection.

This weight with a buff patina has a number of old scuff marks and dents.

Lead weights are difficult to date. Consequently the dating may have a larger range than suggested.
