A Medieval lead weight, dating to the 14th century. The weight is uniface and circular in shape. On one side is a circular recess, forming a raised border around the edge. Within the recess is a fleur-de-lys. The object has a light grey-brown patina, with traces of the darker grey metal beneath where it has been scratched. A similar, though not identical example is published in Egan (1998, no. 993) though with two opposing fleurs. The published weight comes from a context dated AD 1320-1380, so a broad 14th century date is suggested for this example. Dimensions: diameter: 25.9…

A complete lead weight dating to the post medieval period AD 1700-1900 The object is notable manufactured by lead due to its white parlour.
