Lead weight. Cast shield-shaped weight. A crudely defined incised border encloses the sunken outline of an open crown with side fleurs and a lis in low relief below it. The crown either resembles or has been reformed to become a sunken leopard head motif. This has been accomplished, particularly at the left fleur/ear and along the band of the crown/head, by further cutting. Three angular stamps appear within this outline: they appear as a T shape, an I shape and as a small stalked rhomboid, and probably represent episodes of official inspection of the weight, a process which continued…

Lead and iron weight. Cast conical weight with an apical iron suspension loop. The flat base would permit this to be used as a standing weight as well as with a beam balance. Various diagonal scars may be adventitious damage, but if so were incurred in antiquity as they, like the rest of the object, are patinated. Though the suspended form is often ascribed to the Roman period, a conical form is commonly ascribed to smaller medieval weights made for other purposes. The mass of this example may represent a one half of a Tower pound (350gms), a measure used between the late 11th century…

A complete cast lead customs seal of modern date. The seal is roughly circular in plan with a rectangular cross section and is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by a hole running across its diameter.

Such tokens may have performed a multitude of functions from gaming counters to a form of small change used in the absence of official low value coinage within a local area.
