WEIGHT

Unique ID: NCL-29D1A2

Object type certainty: Certain

A cast lead-alloy weight of Medieval-Post-Medieval date, c. 1300-1900.

The weight is hemispherical with a flat base and a slightly pointed peak. A circular perforation runs from the peak to the base to take a suspension loop or hook (now missing), and for which there is also an discoidal impression in the base.

The weight is 1 lb 4 oz, and given this exact weight, a more recent date seems likely.
